A bench comprising Justices Sandeep Mehta and Prasanna B Varale, while rejecting her pre-arrest bail request, stated,
“Her custodial interrogation would be needed in the case,”
The court advised her to surrender to the police to facilitate a thorough investigation.
Kumari Sharda, from Village Bahadurpur in Darbhanga district, Bihar, was apprehended while attempting to take the CTET in her elder sister’s place. According to police reports, her biometric and Aadhaar information did not align with that of the actual candidate.
The prosecution claimed that Sharda admitted her guilt at the examination center.
Both the trial court in Samastipur and the Patna High Court had previously dismissed her anticipatory bail plea on April 23. She is facing charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for impersonation and cheating in Samastipur.
