One of the chief ministers (equivalent to a US governor or Canadian premiere) of India resigned her post and was sent to jail.

Hubli, August 25: At the end of her daylong train odyssey, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Uma Bharti, against whom a non-bailable warrant was issued in a case of rioting ten years ago, surrendered on Wednesday before a local court, which sent her to 14 days' judicial custody after she did not seek bail.
She did not seek bail, which she had made clear she would not do soon after her arrival at the Hubli station to a tumultuous welcome from the BJP and the VHP cadres carrying the party's saffron flag and the tricolour.
