(Sahayak) system in the Army and had committed suicide over fear and shame.<\/p>\n<p>Poonam and Deepchand approached the high court after a sessions court rejected their anticipatory bail pleas.<\/p>\n<p>Senior counsel Amit Desai, appearing for Poonam, argued that the sting operation was carried out in public interest and to expose the malaise in the Indian Army.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court after hearing the arguments said, &#8220;After viewing the said clip, it appears that the purpose of the sting operation was to show that the &#8216;Sahayaks&#8217; were made to do menial work like taking their seniors&#8217; dogs for walks, taking their seniors&#8217; children to schools and so on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prima facie at this stage, taking the prosecution case as it stands it is doubtful whether any offence under IPC or Official Secrets Act is attracted in the peculiar facts of the case,&#8221; Justice Dere said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Merely because the sting operation was done in a prohibited area would not automatically attract provision of the Official Secrets Act,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>The court granted Poonam and Deepchand anticipatory bail on a surety of Rs 25,000 and directed them to appear before the police on three days -May 2, May 3 and May 4 for recording their statement and questioning.<\/p>\n<p>The court also directed Poonam to surrender to the police raw footage of the sting operation.<\/p>\n<p>Mathew had joined the Army 13 years ago and was working as an artillery gunner with the Rocket Regiment 214 in Nashik camp for the last one year.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
