The Karnataka High Court granted Basavaraj Kannale a five-day interim bail on humanitarian grounds so he could attend his newborn baby girl's 12th-day naming ceremony.
The High Court ordered that Kannale must travel with police between October 15 and 20, must not use a mobile phone when police are absent, and is prohibited from using a mobile phone entirely for five days.
SPP Jagadish alleged that Kannale collected money from several KPSC candidates, conducted transactions worth crores through cooperative banks, and purchased jewellery using bribe money for the would-ban wife of IAS officer Gangwar.
