The Kalaburagi Bench of the High Court of Karnataka, on Tuesday, granted bail to Rajesh Hagaragi, husband of Divya Hagaragi and president of Gyan Jyoti English Medium School, from where the malpractice and irregularities in the examination for the 545 Police Sub-Inspector posts were reported.
Earlier bail had been rejected for Rajesh Hagaragi, as he is the husband of Divya Hagaragi, the alleged kingpin in the PSI recruitment scam.
A single bench of Justice M.G. Uma granted bail to Rajesh and cautioned him not to leave the jurisdiction without obtaining permission from the court and warned him against tampering with the evidence. While public prosecutor Kiran Jawali opposed the bail, alleging that there are serious allegations against the applicant, senior advocate Avinash Uploankar and advocate Rajesh Doddmani argued that the court has granted bail to one of the accused Mallikarjun Melkundi, who was facing the similar charges as of the applicant.
