Patna, June 3
Former District Magistrate of Patna Gautam Goswami, who has been evading arrest in the multi-crore flood relief scam, today applied for anticipatory bail in a special court here.
Goswami’s lawyer Tuhin Shankar filed the petition in the court of Designated Vigilance Judge J M Prasad, who is likely to take it up for hearing tomorrow.
In his bail plea, Goswami denied allegations of embezzlement and urged the court to grant him bail as he was ready to fully cooperate with the Vigilance Bureau.
The anticipatory bail application was filed on behalf of Goswami a day after the Vigilance Bureau enhanced the prize money for Goswami’s arrest. The Vigilance Judge had on Tuesday issued non-bailable warrants against Goswami.
