HC Rejects Bail of Rajganj BDO
The Calcutta High Court said no to a request from Prasanta Barman, a government officer, to stay out of jail.
He was accused of being involved in the kidnapping and murder of a gold trader.
The court said he must go to jail within three days because the case is very serious.
The police said he used fake papers to get bail earlier, and the court agreed that he needs to be questioned in jail.
This is to make sure the investigation is fair and just.
Calcutta High Court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Prasanta Barman, BDO of Rajganj.
Barman was accused in a case involving the abduction and murder of a gold trader.
