Himachal High Court has rejected the anticipatory bail plea of suspended director Desraj in the death case of Chief Engineer of Power Corporation Vimal Negi. The High Court gave this decision on Wednesday. The court of Judge Virendra Singh had reserved the judgment in this case after hearing both sides on March 24.
Desraj had filed a petition for anticipatory bail in the High Court, fearing arrest. He had said that the FIR registered against him in New Shimla police station was wrong. The court has refused to grant anticipatory bail to Desraj after the status report filed by the police.
Sources say that Desraj is absconding since March 23. Desraj may be arrested after the anticipatory bail plea is rejected by the High Court. Law experts say that if the police finds evidence against the former MD and Director Personnel of the Power Corporation in the investigation, then their problems may also increase.
Family members of Chief Engineer Negi had accused Power Corporation MD Harikesh Meena, Director Personnel Shivam Pratap and Director Desraj of mental harassment. According to family members, Vimal Negi took this step after being fed up of harassment by senior officials.
Vimal Negi left the government car on March 10 and went from Shimla to Bilaspur in a private taxi. His body was found in Govindsagar Lake on March 18. According to his postmortem report, he died due to drowning on March 14.
