Tulsi case: Suspended IPS officer Aggarwal withdraws bail plea

Suspended IPS officer Vipul Aggarwal today withdrew his application seeking temporary bail in connection with the 2006 Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter case, after the Gujarat High Court showed its inclination to reject it.
"The advocate appearing on behalf of the applicant (Vipul Aggarwal) sought permission to withdraw the present application. Permission, as prayed for, is granted. The present application is dismissed as withdrawn," a single judge bench of Justice A J Desai observed.
Aggarwal had sought the relief for 45 days to attend to his ailing father. However, the court held that Aggarwal's brothers--a doctor and a businessman--are there to look after their father.

As the court was inclined to reject his temporary bail application, Aggarwal withdrew his plea.
Aggarwal was SP of Banaskantha when Prajapati, believed to be the witness to Sohrabuddin Sheikh's fake encounter, was shot dead near Danta in the district in an allegedly staged encounter by Gujarat police in December 2006.
