Ex-Union Minister, 13 Others Sentenced in 2013 Road Blockade

A former government minister named Pradeep Jain Aditya and 13 other people were found guilty of blocking a road.

This happened in 2013 as a protest about electricity problems.

They were given a two-year jail sentence by a court.

However, they were allowed to go free for now, but must promise to come back if they lose their appeal.

They have one month to appeal the decision.

The judge found them guilty of breaking some laws.

The group had blocked a major road, causing a big traffic jam.

The ex-minister said he would keep fighting for the people.

His lawyer said they will appeal the ruling because of problems with the investigation.
