# Naresh Meena surrenders in Tonk after bail cancellation 2026-08-06T21:40:39+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress rebel leader Naresh Meena surrendered at Nagar Fort police station in Rajasthan’s Tonk district on Thursday after a court cancelled his bail. The Special SC/ST Court in Tonk sent the 45-year-old to judicial custody. The Rajasthan High Court had granted him conditional bail on July 11, 2025, but the lower court cancelled it after his subsequent arrest during a protest in Jhalawar, citing violation of bail conditions. Meena is accused of slapping SDM Amit Chaudhary during the November 2024 Deoli-Uniara Assembly by-election. Violence followed, with 18 four-wheelers and two dozen two-wheelers torched. Supporters allege the BJP government is targeting him before Panchayati Raj elections. Prohibitory orders were imposed as supporters gathered outside the police station and court. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Bail, by-election, Naresh Meena, Rajasthan, Tonk Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/naresh-meena-surrenders-in-tonk-after-bail-cancellation/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
