A district court here on Friday rejected the bail application of suspended Indian Air Force (IAF) Group Captain Amit Gupta, who was arrested in connection with suicide by former IAF Flying Officer Anjali Gupta.
The court declined the bail stating that the charges against him (of abettment to suicide) are of serious nature.
Amit was arrested in Bhopal last week in connection with the death of by Anjali at the former’s residence here. The plea was rejected by Additional Sessions Judge Sanjeev Kumar Sarriya who said the charges against Amit are of serious nature and if released on bail, he may try to tamper with evidence against him as the investigation is still on.
Anjali, the first lady officer to be court-martialled by IAF, arrived here on September 7 and stayed at Amit’s residence. On September 8, Amit claimed to have left for Delhi to take part in his son’s engagement ceremony after which she allegedly hanged herself, apparently due to depression.
Anjali’s family members told the police that she was in a live-in relationship with Gupta. Amit was separated from his wife but had not yet divorced her.
They also alleged that at the behest of Amit, she had levelled charges of sexual harassment against her seniors in the IAF, which ultimately proved false and led to her dismissal from service in February 2006. Anjali was found guilty on seven counts, including indiscipline, insubordination and financial misappropriation.
