The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has granted bail to Aman Mani Tripathi, son of jailed politician Amar Mani Tripathi, in connection with a case of the kidnapping of a businessman. The court has directed the accused to surrender his passport and an assurance that he would not try to influence the witnesses. He would also make himself available before the trial court without seeking unnecessary adjournments. Aman Mani Tripathi was arrested in July 2015 after a contractor accused him of kidnapping him and dem-anding Rs 1 lakh from him.
The counsel for the accused argued that Aman Mani belonged to a affluent family and Rs 1 lakh was not a big amount for him. Besides, the statement of the complainant has already been recorded. Aman Mani, it may be recalled, is also booked on charges of killing his wife Sara Singh in July 2015 and the case is being probed by the CBI.
Aman Mani’s parents, Amar Mani Tripathi and Madhu Mani Tripathi, are already in jail after being awarded life term in the murder of a poetess Madhumita Shukla.
