Panchkula, Feb. 23 -- A local court has rejected the fifth bail application of a 40-year-old man accused of murdering his wife. The accused, Abhishek Dutt, a resident of Kalka, had approached the court for bail again, citing need of regular medical care after donating 50% of his liver to his father during interim bail. Dutt is facing trial for allegedly stabbing his wife in the chest on the night of February 9, 2024. He is currently lodged in Central Jail, Ambala. During the hearing, the defence counsel argued that charges were framed in November 2024 and that only four out of 27 prosecution witnesses had been examined so far. The counsel submitted that the accused had donated a substantial portion of his liver to his father after obtaining due permission while on interim bail. It was further argued that he had not been receiving proper medical treatment in custody and was recently admitted to PGIMER for treatment. After his discharge, doctors advised regular follow-ups. However, he could not be taken to the hospital on three occasions due to the non-availability of security guards in the police lines. Opposing the bail plea, the prosecution contended that the accused had committed a serious offence. After considering the report of the jail authorities stating that the accused had been receiving proper medical treatment in custody, and taking into account the nature and gravity of the allegations, the stage of the trial, and the possibility of influencing witnesses or evading the process of law, the court held that the accused was not entitled to regular bail....
