CBI Court Denies Bail to Punjab Vigilance Reader in Rs 13 Lakh Bribery Case
A CBI court in Chandigarh denied bail to Om Parkash Singh Rana, former reader to Punjab Vigilance Bureau's DGP, in a Rs 13 lakh bribery case. The court cited evidence including chats, call records, and CCTV footage linking Rana to the alleged conspiracy. Rana surrendered after non-bailable warrants were issued. His counsel argued lack of direct evidence and claimed false implication, but the court expressed concern over potential witness influence and rejected the bail plea.
