Karnataka HC Grants Bail to Bescom Employee
A man named Arun Kumar, who works as an assistant storekeeper for a company called Bescom, was accused of losing a lot of valuable materials and oil worth Rs 3.57 crore.
The company found out during a check in 2025.
The police charged him with some serious crimes.
But the court decided to let him out on bail because there were some confusing things in the complaint and because he has a disability and has never been in trouble before.
The judge, Justice Shivashankar Amarannavar, made this decision on December 17.
Arun Kumar, an assistant storekeeper with Bescom, was accused of a Rs 3.57 crore material shortage.
The Karnataka High Court granted him bail on December 17, 2025.
The court noted contradictory allegations in the complaint.
Kumar's disabled status and lack of criminal record were considered.
