Jayaprada acquitted in election cases: Former MP and actress Jayaprada has been acquitted in a case related to violation of election rules by the Uttar Pradesh court. She contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as a BJP candidate from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh.

She was present in court during the final judgment. Later, speaking to reporters, she revealed that she had contested twice from Rampur and won.
