EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Malappuram

THE Nilambur judicial first-class magistrate court has granted bail to Nilambur MLA P V Anvar in the case related to vandalism at the Nilambur North Divisional Forest Office. Anvar was granted bail less than 24 hours of being arrested by Nilambur police from his residence on Sunday night.

Bail was granted on the condition that Anvar pays ₹35,000 towards the estimated damage to public property at the forest office and that he reports to the Nilambur police station on alternate Wednesdays.

After being released from Tavanur central jail on Monday night, Anvar announced his decision to join hands with the UDF in opposing the Pinarayi Vijayan government. "I am going to end my one-man fight against Pinarayi. I will join hands with the UDF and start a joint fight until this government is brought down. I thank all the UDF leaders who extended support to me," Anvar said.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with his treatment in prison. "They didn't treat me well. I don't know if an MLA has special privileges in prison. After conducting a study, I will reveal more details," Anvar added.
