New Indian ExpressPATNA: Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor who was arrested during his fast-unto-death protest at Gandhi Maidan in the state capital since January 2 was sent to jail on Monday after he refused to sign a bail bond following his arrest. In a pre-dawn crackdown, police arrested Kishor who started his fast-unto-death in support of Bihar Public Service Commission candidates demanding the cancellation of the 70th combined competitive examination and re-test given allegations of a question paper leak and other irregularities. Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh has said that repeated notices were issued to Jan Suraaj Party leader Prashant Kishor, urging him and his supporters to relocate the demonstration to Gardani Bagh, the designated protest site, but the latter paid no heed. Kishor was granted bail with a condition not to repeat the offence in future, which the Jan Suraaj Party leader denied.
