Bail plea of 'Computer Baba' rejected, Case registered for obstructing official work in Indore

Bail plea of 'Computer Baba', an Ex-Minister of Madhya Pradesh, has been rejected & a case has been registered against him for obstructing official work in Indore on Thursday.

Additional Superintendent of Police, Prashant Choubey informed that a case has been registered against Computer Baba and he has been formally arrested on Thursday.

Computer Baba, whose real name is Namdev Tyagi, & some of his supporters were sent to central jail by the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) on the charge of obstructing official work on Nov 8.

They were detained for protesting against the Indore district administration's demolition drive.

The administration has demolished Namdev Tyagi's alleged illegal property from Ambikapuri temple & encroachments in the Super Corridor area. The officials are also looking into some bank accounts & documents of other assets of Computer Baba, which are being investigated.

On Nov 9, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had condemned the action taken against Computer Baba and termed it as political vendetta. Meanwhile, on the day, Ex-Congress Minister, Jitu Patwari, & other leaders made a visit to jail to meet Computer Baba.

'Computer Baba' had in 2018 quit the then Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's Govt. He was inducted in Chouhan's cabinet with the minister of state rank. Later during the Assembly elections, he supported the Congress.
