Former VC gets bail in murder case

Bengaluru: 15.11.2020 

The high court has granted bail to Sudhir Angur, former vice-chancellor of Alliance University and prime accused in the Ayyappa Dore murder case. The relief is for three months to enable him to undergo an angiogram procedure for his cardiac ailment.

Justice PS Dinesh Kumar considered the November 2, 2020 letter by the chief medical officer, Central Prison, Parappana Agrahara, to the jail superintendent. The prosecution said bail could be granted for a limited period by imposing conditions.

Angur has to execute a personal bond for Rs 2 lakh with two sureties of like sum, surrender his passport, gun licence and weapon before the station house officer at RT Nagar police station. Once he’s declared fit by doctors, he should surrender before the trial court.

Dore, 53, then VC of the university, was found murdered on October 15, 2019 at HMT ground. Angur, who was arrested on October 17 last year, had filed a bail petition before the 55th City Civil and Sessions Court, but it was dismissed in April. The high court rejected his regular bail plea on August 12, 2020. After his plea on medical grounds was rejected by the trial court on November 6, 2020, he pleaded the high court for six-month bail to undergo the procedure. TNN
