The Delhi High Court on Friday granted one month interim bail to Nitesh Bhardwaj who is facing trial for allegedly killing his billionaire father BSP leader Deepak Bhardwaj.
The court granted him bail for undergoing radio-surgery for brain tumour.
Justice I.S. Mehta granted the relief to the accused after perusing the reports of AIIMS and Fortis Hospital here, which said Bhardwaj required Stereotactic Radiosurgery, which is a non-surgical radiation therapy used to treat functional abnormalities and small tumours of the brain.
The police had opposed his bail plea saying it had apprehensions that he might escape.
Bhardwaj, 36, Deepak Bhardwaj’s younger son, was arrested in April 2013 for his father’s murder at a Delhi farmhouse on March 26, the same year.
The BSP leader was gunned down by contract killers Sunil Mann alias Sonu and Purushottam Rana alias Monu at his 35-acre farmhouse in south Delhi.
