A special CBI court has granted bail to head constable Mandeep Singh, the reader of deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Amroz Singh who is facing a graft case from 2021.
The DSP and three of his aides, including Mandeep, were arrested on December 29, 2022, for allegedly seeking a bribe of ₹50 lakh for not registering a case in 2021.
The other co-accused, including the DSP, are already out on bail.
