On Feb 16, thousands of weddings were held on the auspicious occasion of 'Basant Panchami' but one of them, in particular, has caught the public imagination in Rajasthan.
Suspended Rajasthan Administrative Service officer Pinky Meena, who had been in jail for the past one month for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 10 lakh from a highway company, has married a Judge from the Rajasthan Judicial Service!
Pinky Meena, who was the Bandikui SDM till mid-Jan had recently got bail from the High Court of Rajasthan. In her bail plea in the High Court, Pinky had cited her marriage on Feb 16 as the reason behind her request. Interestingly, the Govt lawyer had opposed the bail even then alleging that the investigation may get affected as Pinky is getting married to a Rajasthan Judicial Service officer.

Since mid-January, Pinky Meena had been a prisoner at the Central Jail in Jaipur's Ghatgate area.
