Delhi High Court Grants Bail to Former DGHS Chief and Procurement Head in Corruption Case
The Delhi High Court granted bail to former Director General of Health Services Dr Vatsala Aggarwal and ex-head of the Central Procurement Agency Dr Vinod Kumar Ranga in a corruption case involving procurement for Delhi government hospitals. Despite allegations of a Rs 842 crore loss and missing files, the court ruled that continued detention was unnecessary as investigations and searches had been extensive. The court emphasized that bail should not serve as pre-trial punishment and that the trial will determine responsibility for missing documents.
