The district court denied anticipatory bail to suspended CSP Neha Pachisia in the Katni land‑deal and abuse‑of‑office case, prompting police to intensify the hunt for her and two fugitives.
The district court in Katni rejected the anticipatory bail petition filed by Neha Pachisia, a suspended civil service probationer accused of involvement in a land‑deal and abuse of office. The ruling keeps her in custody while the investigation proceeds. Police have issued notices and are actively searching for her and two other accused who have absconded. Pachisia's legal counsel said they will approach the Madhya Pradesh High Court for relief, arguing that the bail denial is premature. Authorities indicated that the probe will continue to ascertain the extent of alleged irregularities in the Katni land transaction, a case that has drawn public attention to potential corruption among officials.
