Adarsh accused denied bail

A local court on Wednesday granted judicial custody to the three accused arrested by the CBI in the Adarsh missing documents case.

The court denied their bail application after the CBI argued that their lives were under threat and that the case was being supervised by the Bombay High Court.

Gurudatt Wajpe, Town Planner/Section Officer, Urban Development Department (UDD); Nandkumar Narvekar, Assistant Town Planner, UDD; and Waman Rawool, the then clerk of the Principal Secretary, UDD, were remanded in judicial custody till June 1.

All three had applied for bail, but the CBI argued that if the accused were granted bail, they may influence their colleagues to not talk about the file from which four key documents had gone missing.
