Jodhpur: Former Makrana MLA Bhanwarlal Rajpurohit, who was sentenced to 10 years in jail and a fine of Rs 1 lakh by Makrana ADJ Court in a 20-year-old rape case, got relief from the High Court on Thursday. Justice Farzand Ali after hearing the case, approved Rajpurohit’s bail and suspended the sentence.
