Anuppur (Madhya Pradesh): Three men allegedly attacked the house of a Judicial Magistrate in Madhya Pradesh’s Anuppur district after their bail plea was earlier rejected, as reported on Monday.

The police acted swiftly and arrested all 3 accused within 24 hours. Those taken into custody have been identified as Priyanshu Singh alias Jegu Yadav, Devendra Kevat alias Sonu, and Manikesh Singh alias Sutan - all residents of Bhalumada.

According to SP Anuppur Moti Ur Rehman, the main accused, Priyansh Singh (25), had an FIR registered against him a few months ago and his bail plea was rejected by Magistrate Chhabra. 

Later, he managed to secure bail from the Additional Sessions Court.
