New Delhi, Jan 12:  The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu in a case of road rage death in which he was sentenced to three-years imprisonment.

A bench headed by Justice G P Mathur directed the former BJP MP to furnish a personal bond of Rs 25,000 and a surety of like amount before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patiala.

Earlier, Sidhu and Rupinder Singh Sandhu, convicted for the same matter, surrendered in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Y S Rathore on Thursday afternoon after a division bench of the High Court declined their plea to surrender before it.

The two men, sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for three years in the road rage case that led to the death of Gurnam Singh in 1988, were directed by Rathore to be taken to Patiala central jail.

Before surrendering, Sidhu told reporters that he was submitting himself before the court of law and would abide by its order.

A contingent of Punjab police took both men to Patiala from the court.
