Today, 8th August, Abu Salem, convicted for his role in the 1993 Mumbai bombings, withdrew his plea from the Bombay High Court challenging his transfer to Nashik Jail. His transfer rendered the petition irrelevant, leading to its dismissal. This move may signal a strategic legal focus, given the high-profile nature of Salem’s convictions and incarceration.
The Bombay High Court today has sought a response from the Maharashtra Government on a bail application by Bhavesh Bhide, director of Ego Media, related to a hoarding collapse in Ghatkopar that resulted in 17 deaths. Justices Dangre and Deshpande have directed the government to address the lack of written grounds for the arrest provided to the accused. The Mumbai police must submit an affidavit by July 26.
