Amitabh Thakur Granted Bail in Deoria Fraud Case
A former police officer named Amitabh Thakur was given bail in a fraud case in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh.
This means he can be released from jail if he provides two guarantees of ₹1 lakh each.
However, his wife, Nutan Thakur, who is also involved in the case, was not given bail.
She can now either go to a higher court or surrender to the trial court.
Even though Amitabh Thakur got bail in this case, he still has another case against him in Lucknow, which might delay his release from jail.
Former UP IPS officer Amitabh Thakur was granted bail in the Deoria fraud case.
The court directed Thakur to furnish two sureties of ₹1 lakh each for his bail.
Nutan Thakur, Amitabh Thakur's wife and co-accused, had her anticipatory bail plea rejected.
Nutan Thakur can now approach the High Court or surrender before the trial court.
Amitabh Thakur faces another case in Lucknow with a 'B warrant', which may delay his release.
