Bail denied to medical college head involved in admission fraud
Noting that the delay in starting the trial was due to the applicant's inaction in progressing the case, rather than any fault on the prosecution's part, a special PMLA court in Mumbai rejected the bail of Mahadev Deshmukh, former working president of the Kolhapur-based Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Education Society (SCSES), who allegedly collected over Rs 65 crore from 350 medical aspirants for admission in a college run by the trust.
This marks the second time the applicant has sought bail, citing delays in the trial and arguing that there is no reason for him to remain in jail. Medical Dialogues in August this year reported that a special PMLA court in Mumbai rejected his first bail application due to his primary involvement in the crime.
