The petitions, filed on September 12, were dismissed after the court heard arguments from both the prosecution and the defense. The court observed that “prima facie evidence indicates their involvement” and therefore bail could not be granted.
Rishi Raj asserted in his plea, “I was only obeying my officer’s orders. I brought Rajdeep from Sector 80 on instructions. On the way, Rajdeep himself asked to stop at the HDFC Bank. He went to the restroom and shot himself. I, along with the bank staff, broke the door and tried to save him”.
On September 9, 45-year-old immigration consultant Rajdeep Singh, a Moga native living in Sector 80, Mohali, shot himself with his licensed revolver inside the restroom of HDFC Bank, Sector 68.
Before dying, he recorded a video accusing Kaler, Rishi Raj, Aggarwal, Rinku Krishna, and Saina Arora of harassment and blackmail. “I have never done anything wrong… I am ending my life,” he had said in the video.
His father alleged the accused humiliated and filmed Rajdeep, pressuring him for loans tied to disputed investments of Rs 1.60 crore, Rs 2.46 crore, Rs 3.5 crore, and Rs 40 lakh.
