BJP MLA Akash Vijayvargiya, who was arrested four days ago for assaulting a civic official here with a cricket bat, was released from a local jail on Sunday morning.
He was released after his bail order from a court in Bhopal reached jail authorities in Indore. After coming out of the jail, Vijayvargiya dubbed his prison experience as "good", and said he was happy to come out as he would now be focusing on pending public works.
Vijayvargiya came under fire after he was caught on camera assaulting a municipal official during a demolition drive. However, three women have come out in support of the beleaguered MLA .
Sapna Shrivansh (40) and two other women from the family which lives in the house held a press conference Thursday and supported the MLA, PTI reported.
"Our family has been living in this rented house for 80 years. It was declared dilapidated by the municipal corporation and we were asked to vacate it within two days. We sought more time but the corporation did not heed our request," Shrivansh said.
The demolition team entered the house forcibly and "misbehaved" with the women of the family, she alleged.
The other two women said that Akash Vijayvargiya reached the spot after learning about what was happening and opposed the demolition.
