The bail plea of Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, who has been arrested under the provisions of POCSO Act on the charge sexually harassing minor girls, has been rejected by a Chitradurga court.
Second Additional District and Sessions Judge B.K. Komala, on Friday, issued the order rejecting the bail plea moved by counsel of Murugha Sharanaru.
The prosecution had objected to the bail plea on the grounds that the accused was an influential person and that he could tamper with evidence and influence witnesses.
