High Court grants bail to Atul Rao

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday granted conditional bail to Atul Rao, who has been accused by the Udupi police of being involved in the murder of Padmapriya, wife of Udupi MLA Raghupati Bhat.

Mr. Rao had moved the High Court after an Udupi court had rejected his plea for bail.

When the matter came up on Wednesday, the Government advocate opposed the bail plea saying that evidence so far collected prima facie pointed to the involvement of Mr. Rao in the unnatural death of Padmapriya.

Justice Ashok B. Hinchigeri noted that the charges against Mr. Rao were bailable in nature. He granted bail to Mr. Rao on furnishing a bond of Rs. 1 lakh and two sureties of an equal amount.

Mr. Rao was asked to cooperate with the CoD and mark his presence before the Udupi police.

The court said his bail would be cancelled if he violated any of the conditions.
