Former Chief Minister of Punjab Prakash Singh Badal was granted anticipatory bail by the Faridkot District Court in the infamous 2015 Kotkapura firing case.
Additional District and Session Judge Rajeev Kalda, who presided over the hearing, approved the bail application submitted by Badal.
However, the news was not so good for former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and former SSP Sukhmandar Singh Maan. Judge Kalda canceled their bail plea, citing their alleged involvement in the case. The incident dates back to October 14, 2015, when two people were killed after the police allegedly opened fire on a group of protesters in Kotkapura.
The decision by the court has sent shockwaves through the political and legal communities, with some expressing concern that justice may not be served in the case. Many have called for a thorough investigation to ensure that those responsible for the deaths are held accountable.
The case has been closely watched by the public, as it involves high-profile individuals in the Punjab political scene. The ruling has sparked intense debate and controversy, with some hailing it as a victory for justice, while others are concerned that it may have been influenced by political pressure.
Despite the ruling, the investigation into the Kotkapura firing case continues, with authorities vowing to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable.
