The Gauhati High Court on Thursday rejected the bail plea of the suspended APSC chairman Rakesh Paul, who is the prime accused of the ill-famed APSC cash-for-job scam that shocked the state 2 years ago.

Rakesh Paul who had been in judicial custody filed the petition against a case filed at the Bhangagarh Police Station.

Till date, 21 arrested ACS-APS officials have been granted bail.
