Chandigarh Court Denies Bail to Ex-PU Professor Accused of Wife's Murder
A Chandigarh court rejected the second bail plea of former Panjab University professor Bharat Bhushan Goyal, accused of murdering his wife Seema Goyal in 2021. The court ruled that the filing of the chargesheet and examination of a prosecution witness did not constitute a substantial change in circumstances to warrant bail. The prosecution cited scientific evidence supporting the case, while the defense challenged the investigation's fairness and the admissibility of the polygraph test. The court emphasized the seriousness of the allegations and the trial stage in denying bail.
