The NBWs were issued on November 10 for contempt of court.

Meanwhile, Raja Bhaiyya's father was today released from district prison after he secured bail from the Bhopal High Court.

The minister, his father and cousin Akshay appeared before the court of Kunda judicial magistrate Naresh Kumar, who cancelled the NBWs issued against them earlier.

Two cases are pending against the trio at Kunda and Nawabganj police stations for indulging in violence and issuing life threats.
