Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday cancelled the bail given by Lucknow's session court to alleged rape accused Uttar Pradesh Minister Gayatri Prajapati and others.

 

The High Court bench said in its order that the session court took the decision in a "hurry".

 

Earlier on May 12, the Lucknow bench upheld its earlier decision not to grant bail to Prajapati.

Pintu Singh and Vikas Verma, both absconding, were also not relieved in the matter.

 

The arrest warrants were issued against Prajapati's aides Pintu Singh and Vikas Verma, in connection with the rape case.

 

Giving no relief to co-accused in the Prajapati rape case, the Supreme Court earlier on May 4 asked Vikas Verma to surrender before the court within two days.

 

Prajapati and the two accused were granted bail by the trial court earlier.

 

However, the Allahabad High Court dismissed their bail order, which was then challenged by the accused in the apex court.
