GURUGRAM, SEPT 25:
The Mahendergarh court in Haryana on Tuesday turned down the bail plea of ”quack doctor” Sanjeev, an accused in the Rewari gang rape case, after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) argued that more arrests were to be made in the case.
Prime accused Nishu was remanded in judicial custody till October 5 at the end of his four-day police remand.
The bail application of Sanjeev came up for hearing at the court of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate Piyush Sharma at the Kanina court in the afternoon.
Opposing it, the SIT contended that the investigation was still pending and more arrests were to be made. Making a strong case for the bail of his client, Sanjeev’s counsel Sandeep Singh said he was not involved in the crime and the SIT had made no specific charges against him in the remand papers. It was yet to be established by the victim that she was treated by his client.
Mr. Singh further argued that his client was arrested for alleged concealment of the crime, but the fact remained that the police had failed to take any action against the accused even after the victim and her family made a complaint to the police. “Sanjeev had discharged his professional duty in treating the victim. No recoveries are to be made from my client,” he said.
