Chandigarh, September 28

A local court today dismissed the bail plea of Col Manveer Bains, accused of murder in an incident of road rage. The court observed that Colonel Bains had committed a serious offence and that “he knew the consequences of his actions”. Colonel Bains has been accused of murdering Sector 37 resident Praveen Yadav.The bail application claimed that Yadav died of natural causes and was supported by a medical report from doctors of the GMCH, Sector 32.However, the prosecution opposed it saying that the CFSL and the histopathology reports were awaited. The results of these reports could be vital as these may suggest the chronological order of events and the exact cause of the death. These may also suggest what chemical reactions in the deceased’s body led to his “natural death”.According to the order, Colonel Bains might have been angry with the resident and he parked his car in front of Yadav’s. Colonel Bains slapped Yadav who was brought dead, indicating that he died on the spot. The Judge thus dismissed the bail plea of the Colonel. His application for class B facilities in jail will be taken up on Friday. The 48-year-old Mohali resident was arrested on September 2 and booked for murder after the family of Praveen Yadav alleged that he had been “beaten to death”.
