NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday granted bail to Uma Khurana, the school teacher arrested in connection with a TV channel's sting operation.
The sting operation had accused Uma Khurana, a government school teacher, of forcing students into prostitution. Police, however, discovered evidence that showed that the sting was an attempt to frame her.
The crime branch has already arrested the reporter, Prakash Singh, who masterminded the operation.
Rashmi Khanna, the girl who had been roped in by Singh as a bait for the teacher, was arrested on Thursday. In an application before a Tis Hazari court where she was produced on Friday, Khanna offered to turn approver. This may help the police piece together the plot and prove its case in court.
The sting has raised such a stink that the HC stepped in, taking suo motu cognisance.
