A Tehelka SIT investigation reveals how fake guarantors and middlemen are turning the bail process into a thriving black market, exploiting legal loopholes and court routines.

"Give me two days. In two days, I'll arrange fake documents for the fake bail of your accused. Once he's out, he can skip court dates and disappear wherever he wants," said Munazir, a broker who arranges fake guarantors for fake bails, toTehelka's undercover reporter.

"Once we've taken the money from you for the fake bail, you don't need to worry any more. Your work will be done. And it doesn't matter if the accused flees after getting bail," Munazir said...
