Sacked IPS officer Ashish Kapoor gets bail from High Court
Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has granted regular bail to IPS officer Ashish Kapoor, arrested and sacked in a corruption case.
Punjab Vigilance had registered an FIR against sacked AIG Ashish Kapoor under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The case dates back to 2016 when he was superintendent in Central Jail Amritsar.
According to the allegation, a woman along with her mother, brother and sister-in-law were in police remand at a police station in Zirakpur. Ashish Kapoor then came there and assured the woman’s mother that he would arrange for her bail and acquittal from the court. Ashish Kapoor, in connivance with the then Zirakpur SHO Pawan Kumar and ASI Harjinder Singh, declared Preeti innocent.
