Cash-for-marks scam: Dhruvin Shah denied bail

VADODARA: A sessions court here denied bail to cash-for-marks scam co-accused Dhruvin Shah on Wednesday. Shah, who is currently in jail after he surrendered in September last year, had sought bail from the court second time on January 6.
Shah had sought bail on the grounds that since the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) filed a second chargesheet in the case, the circumstances in the case have changed.However, the court upheld the arguments made by the investigating agency through its affidavit that he had helped the kingpin of the case Mansukh Shah to run the entire scam.
It was also argued during the hearing that he used to run a website in the name of Mahavir Consultancy through which he used to get admissions for the students in medicine and engineering courses. The court also observed that though second chargesheet was filed, the circumstances have not changed.
Shah was denied anticipatory bail when he was run and also a regular bail in September last year.tnn
