‘Fake’ HRD official’s bail plea rejected

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Ramesh Bhattacharjee who had visited La Martiniere for Boys posing as an HRD official after a complaint was filed by Ajay Rawla,father of Class VIII student Rauvanjit Rawla,against the school.

On June 23,three persons led by Bhattacharjee,who is a member of the Rastriya Sanskrit Parishad,came to the school and sought a report from the school on the Rouvanjit issue.

After the trio visited the school,Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal denied sending any team to the school. Later the ministry faxed a complaint to the office of Commissioner of Kolkata Police and a complaint was lodged at the Shakespeare Sarani police station.

Following the complaint Bhattacharjee filed an anticipatory bail plea in the Calcutta High Court in the first week of July.
