A special court granted bail to an accused in the Mithi river rejuvenation scam case, citing lack of prima facie evidence and procedural lapses in the investigation. The court observed that the prosecution failed to provide sufficient documentary proof directly linking the accused to the alleged misappropriation of funds. It also noted inconsistencies in the way the investigation was conducted, weakening the prosecution’s case. The bail order comes as a setback to the investigative agencies pursuing the multi-crore scam involving inflated contracts and substandard work on the Mithi river project.
