ASP Divya Mittal Granted Bail: On Friday i.e. March 31, Rajasthan High Court granted bail to Additional SP Divya Mittal (एएसपी दिव्या मित्तल) of the SOG, who was accused of demanding a bribe of Rs 2 crore by threatening to arrest the owner of a pharmaceutical company.

According to Advocate Pritam Soni, ASP Divya Mittal was released on bail after the bench of Justice CK Songara ordered her to pay a bond of Rs 1 lakh.

Divya Mittal spends almost 100 Days in Jail

Mittal's bail application had previously been rejected by the High Court. She was presented in court by the ACB on January 20 and subsequently sent to jail, where she remained for two and a half months.

On March 22, the ACB presented an extensive 11,500-page charge sheet in the special court regarding this case.

However, sacked constable Sumit, who is also implicated in the case and is being sought by the ACB, is still absconding.

What was the matter?

On January 16, the Jaipur ACB team arrested ASP Divya Mittal of SOG in Ajmer on charges of demanding a bribe of 2 crores.
