Intermediary Bhavsingh Jhala Also Turned Down for Bail in Six‑NOC Bribe Probe

The ACB’s decision to deny regular bail to Jhala underscores the seriousness of the alleged corruption. Prosecutors argue that Jhala acted as a go‑between, collecting money from applicants and passing it to Dongre, who allegedly sanctioned the illegal NOCs.

The bureau is currently examining financial statements, communication logs, and the fire‑safety clearance records from Dongre’s period in office. The investigation may expand if evidence suggests that other applications were similarly compromised.
