The magistrate court imposed a six-month jail term to Chintamaneni Prabhakar and a fine of Rs 1,000 under Section 353 of the IPC on one case; two-year jail term and Rs 1000 fine under Section 506 of IPC In another case and six-months jail term and Rs 500 under Criminal Procedure Code Section 2.
The court said the MLA has to undergo the punishment simultaneously. So, he will have to serve in all two years imprisonment.
