16 accused in BFUHS Pharmacy Officer exam leak get bail; Opposition steps up protest in Vidhan Sabha

Even as the political slugfest over the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) Pharmacy Officer recruitment exam leak dominated proceedings in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, 16 accused arrested in the case walked out of jail on Saturday after a local court granted them regular bail. Opposition parties staged protest dharnas outside the university gates, and are likely to intensify their agitation following the release.
