Ranes get conditional bail in extortion case

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 23 Agustus 2014 | 22.23

MUMBAI/MAPUSA: A special trial court judge in Goa on Friday granted anticipatory bail to leader of opposition Pratapsingh Rane and his legislator son Vishwajit in an alleged bribery case over green clearance to a mining company.

Special CBI court judge P V Savaikar, presiding over anti-corruption cases in Mapusa, gave the Ranes pre-arrest bail of Rs 1 lakh each after hearing their counsel as well as special public prosecutor Prasad Kirtani, who strongly opposed their plea.

The Ranes were booked by police for allegedly accepting crores of rupees to facilitate permissions for an iron ore mining lease. A special investigation team (SIT), which is probing a Rs 35,000 crore illegal mining scam, filed the FIR after coming across a media interview given by mining lease operator Bhalchandra Naik and later recording his statement.

Naik had alleged the Ranes had demanded Rs 10 crore to ensure there was no objection for environmental clearance for mining activity in Poriem, their constituency. He alleged Rs 6 crore was paid to Vishwajit.

Pratapsingh Rane has been in active politics of Goa for nearly five decades and has been the chief minister five times.

The FIR was filed on July 3 for extortion and cheating offences as well as under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court had on July 5 granted the Ranes interim protection against arrest in the pre-arrest bail plea. The government had opposed his plea, saying the FIR was in the initial stages of investigation and the plea was premature.

The court directed the Ranes not to leave Goa without its permission and not make inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case.
