Bharadwaj’s plea for anticipatory bail dismissed

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad,April 6: Justice B. Seshasayana Reddy of the AP High Court on Wednesday dismissed the anticipatory bail petition filed by Mr G.R. Sirish Bharadwaj the son-in-law of the PR chief, Mr Chiranjeevi. It may be mentioned that Ms Srija, Chiranjeevi’s daughter who is married to Bharadwaj for three years, had recently lodged a complaint against her husband for allegedly harassing her for dowry. Mr Bharadwaj approached the HC for anticipatory bail after a lower court rejected his plea for the same.

He contended that the allegations against him were baseless and levelling of charges against him was an abuse of provisions of law. Ms Srija had stated that she was being harassed ever since she effected the transfer of certain immovable properties from her name.
