Second Bail Plea of PU Professor in Wife Murder Rejected
A former university professor, Bharat Bhushan Goyal, was accused of killing his wife.
He asked the court for bail twice.
The judge said the new evidence, like a new witness and a chargesheet, did not change the case enough to let him go.
The court kept him in jail because the crime is very serious and the evidence looks strong.
The defense said the investigation was unfair and that there was no direct proof.
The judge disagreed and said the evidence was enough to keep him in custody.
Court dismissed Bharat Bhushan Goyal's second bail application for wife murder.
Judge said filing chargesheet and witness examination did not change circumstances.
Prosecution relies on forensic evidence, including brain mapping, to support charges.
Defense argues lack of direct evidence and claims investigation was unfair.
Bail denied due to seriousness of allegations and no material change.
