Prakash Jha Elections are just around the corner and the media houses and corporates are going all out to enhance
the general voter awareness.
However, even with this hi intensity media barrage, there are some who mend
their way the other side to win.
If the recent report is anything to go by, then filmmaker and Lok Janshakti
Party candidate from West Champaran seat, Prakash Jha, was recently arrested after police raided his guest house
allegedly seizing Rs 10.25 lakhs following some reports that he was apparently distributing money among
voters.
The bust was made as West Champaran Superintendent of Police - K S Anupam led a team of local police and central
paramilitary forces in a raid at Jha's guest house around midnight where the said sum was recovered and 29 people
where arrested, including the filmmaker. They were, however, later let off on furnishing personal bonds, official sources
said on Wednesday.
Prakash Jha, however, denied that the money was meant for distribution among the voters and said that it was meant
to be paid to the labourers and other employees of the factory he is building.
At the same time the filmmaker accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi of acting with
vendetta against him to sully his image.
