JAI PRAKASH (HARYANA VIKAS PARTY)

Hissar, Haryana
FIR No. 81/96, Narwana PS
Charges: attempt to murder (IPC 307)

The Haryana strongman started his political career as a camp-follower of former deputy prime minister Devi Lal. During this time, he was an aide of Lal's controversial son Om Prakash Chautala but has now joined Chief Minister Bansi Lal. Although he holds no office, he is referred to, tongue-in-cheek, as 'mantri' in Haryana.
