Srinagar, May 5: In a significant development in the police sub-inspector recruitment scam case, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Thursday rejected the bail plea of a police officer and his son.
The father-son due was arrested by the CBI last year in connection with the police sub-inspector recruitment scam.
Justice Mohan Lal dismissed the joint bail application moved by Assistant Sub-Inspector Ashok Kumar and his son Jaisuriya Sharma, terming it “misconceived under lawâ€.
The police officer and his son were arrested on November 6 and 9, respectively, by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for their alleged active role in the recruitment scam and were among 33 persons charge-sheeted by the CBI on November 12, 2022.
