The Supreme Court refused to interfere with proceedings against former Mumbai police officer Pradeep Sharma in the Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiren murder case, dismissing his appeal against the Bombay High Court order rejecting discharge from criminal conspiracy charges linked to the high-profile 2021 investigation.
The Bombay High Court has denied interim bail to Santosh Atamaram Shelar, an accused in the Antilia explosives scare and Mansukh Hiran’s murder. The decision cites insufficient evidence for Shelar’s claim regarding his daughter’s accident and concerns about potential absconding under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Shelar’s plea for bail was based on his daughter’s accident, but the court found insufficient evidence and potential risk of absconding due to his involvement in the high-profile case.
