Chandigarh, May 20 -- A special CBI court in Chandigarh on Tuesday issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on a bail application filed by Vikas Goyal and his son Raghav Goyal in connection with the alleged Punjab Vigilance Bureau bribery case. The plea was moved under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, before the court of special judge Bhawna Jain. As per the order, counsel for the applicants presented the bail application before the court, which directed that the plea be checked and registered. The court thereafter issued notice to the CBI and fixed May 21 for further hearing in the matter. The case forms part of an ongoing CBI investigation into an alleged corruption and bribery network linked to the Punjab Vigilance Bureau headquarters in Mohali. According to CBI, middlemen Vikas Goyal and Raghav Goyal allegedly facilitated a meeting between a complainant and OP Rana, reader to Punjab Vigilance Bureau chief director Sharad Satya Chauhan, at his office in Chandigarh on April 29. The probe agency alleged that during the meeting, Rana demanded Rs.20 lakh for "sahab" and a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold-7 mobile phone for himself in exchange for settling a disproportionate assets (DA) case against the complainant. The CBI further alleged that the accused were acting as intermediaries for senior vigilance officials and assured the complainant that the matter could be resolved through their influence. As part of the investigation, the CBI recently conducted raids, including at a five-star hotel in Chandigarh where the alleged deal was purportedly being negotiated. Officials claimed the agreed amount was Rs.25 lakh, while Rs.13 lakh allegedly brought by the complainant was recovered during the operation. According to the CBI, Rana, Raghav and Vikas fled after being alerted by their gunmen posted nearby. Following a chase, the agency apprehended Raghav, Vikas and two gunmen near Ambala on the Punjab-Haryana border, while Rana managed to evade arrest. The hearing regarding OP Rana's anticipatory bail application is also listed for May 21, when the CBI has been directed by the court to file its response....
