Treason case was filed against Manorama’s husband for supplying cartridges to Naxalites
Manorama Devi’s husband, Bindeshwari Yadav, was the District Council President. He was arrested by the police on charges of supplying cartridges to Naxalites and a case of sedition was registered against him.
During the investigation, cartridges were also recovered from his vehicle. The police registered a case in this matter on August 7, 2023, and the NIA subsequently took over the investigation. A new case was filed in September 2023.
Bindeshwari Yadav has since passed away. Meanwhile, Manorama Devi’s elder son, Rocky Yadav, was the main accused in the notorious road rage shooting incident. However, the High Court acquitted him due to lack of evidence.
