BENGALURU: The HC on Tuesday rejected cricket coach Nazeer’s bail plea after he was accused of sexually harassing a minor. On Jan 27, Nazir reportedly sought sexual favours from a minor in return for a spot on an IPL team. The minor told his mother who filed a complaint at Yelahanka police station, and a case was registered under the POCSO Act. Nazeer was arrested on January 28.
After being rejected by additional city civil and sessions court for bail he moved the HC, which rejected the appeal on the grounds that the investigation is in progress.
