| Chandrashekhar Rokade |
The holiday court on Saturday denied bail to deputy municipal commissioner Chandrashekhar Rokade, who was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday for accepting a bribe of Rs1 lakh from a civic contractor. The court also remanded him in police custody till Monday. The ACB told the court that they wanted to record the witnesses' statements. If the court grants bail to the accused, he may destroy or tamper the evidence and there is also a possibility he may pressurise the complainant. The defence lawyer argued that his client has been framed by the contractors' lobby because he had started strict action against unauthorised structures and constructions. The court then denied bail to Rokade.
