Geetika suicide case: court again denies bail to Aruna Chaddah

Additional District and Sessions Judge S K Sarvaria dismissed the bail plea of 40-year-old Chaddah, who along with Kanda, is accused of abetting Geetika's suicide.

This was the second time that her bail plea was rejected since her arrest on August 8.

Chaddah had sought bail on the ground that as the police had filed the charge sheet in the case and the investigation against her is complete, she should be released on bail in the light of "change" in circumstances.

Her counsel argued that even if a prima facie case is made out against her, she, being a woman, is entitled to bail as she is also a single parent to a minor daughter and has aged parents to look after. (more)
