Kiran Bedi refuses to give personal bond

New Delhi, Aug 16: Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi today (Aug 16) refused to give a personal bond and get herself released after she was taken into preventive detention for defying prohibitory orders.

"I have been asked to offer bail but I have refused. I may be sent into judicial custody in Tihar jail," Bedi told PTI.

Bedi was taken into custody at Rajghat when she arrived there to take part in the protest announced by Anna Hazare. The Anna Hazare team said the Gandhian and others -- Arvind Kejriwal, Shanti Bhushan and Manish Sisodia -- who were detained will also not give any personal bond and secure their release.

Hazare has been moved out of the police mess in north Delhi's Civil Lines where he was kept by police after detaining him from east Delhi's Mayur Vihar.
