SHILLONG, JUNE 24: GNLA chairman Champion Sangma, who is presently lodged in the Shillong district jail, was granted bail by a local court in one of the cases but is not a free man yet.
The militant leader is currently serving a jail term of three years after being booked under the Meghalaya Preventive Detention Act for deserting the state police and joining the GNLA.
The Chief Judicial Magistrate M Joshi granted bail to Sangma in the case pertaining to a brawl in the high security ward of the Shillong district jail with jailer BR Marak naming him as one of the accused in the case.
Sangma was arrested on July 30, 2012, from a place along the Indo-Bangladesh border, hours after Bangladesh authorities pushed him into India after completing a jail term in that country.- By Our Reporter
