Mangaluru, Sep 19: City police commissioner, Chandra Sekhar, stated his department will be moving the court with an appeal seeking cancellation of bail granted to the accused relating to fixing of hidden camera in ladies toilet of Mangalore University and transmitting video footage from there.
Addressing a press conference at his office on Sunday September 18, the police commissioner noted that although a case has been registered against the accused, there have been allegations that the case cites sections of the law connected with minor offences. "There have been allegations that this was done under pressure from influential persons to enable the accused to get bail easily. We will talk to people who are making these allegations. If we find that people had brought pressure on behalf of the accused person, such persons will also be taken into custody," he explained.
The fact that the accused Santosh Acharya was able to secure bail within a day of his arrest had given rise to doubts in the minds of the people about the sincerity behind investigation of this case and also the case registered against the accused for this serious crime.
