On Friday, a Delhi court granted bail to Gangadhar Ranganath Gunde, a suspect in CBI custody in the NEET case, after he claimed that a namesake from Bengaluru, not him, was engaged in the paper leak and that his arrest was a mistaken identification.
According to Gunde, the CBI apprehended him when it should have targeted his namesake, Bengaluru’s N Gangadhar Appa.
Gunde, a 60-year-old worker for a private company in Gurugram since 1990, was arrested on June 26 on his way to Dehradun. Ankit Singla, a Special Judge, granted Gunde bail on a Rs 25000 bond and other restrictions.
