A court in Rajasthan’s Kotputli-Behror district on Wednesday has sentenced Congress MLA Ved Prakash Solanki to 1 year imprisonment in a cheque bounce case.
The court of additional chief judicial magistrate-3 Nikhil Singh also imposed a fine of Rs 55 lakh on the Chaksu MLA, of which Rs 54 lakh will be given to aggrieved Mohar Singh Yadav, advocate Mahendra Kumar Prajapat, representing Yadav.
Prajapat stated that previously in 2015, Solanki took Rs 35 lakh for a plot deal from Yadav who is a retired physical training instructor.
As the deal couldn’t materialise, Solanki gave him a cheque of Rs 35 lakh, which bounced, he stated, while adding that Yadav then moved the court.
