Bhubaneswar: The Special Vigilance Court on Wednesday granted bail to the suspended IFS officer Abhay Kant Pathak and his son Akash Pathak.
Informing the media, Arup Chand, the counsel of Abhay Kant, said that the court granted the bail to his client and his son as the State Vigilance failed to submit the charge sheet within 60 days.
