The Karnataka High Court heard former MLA Vinay Kulkarni’s appeal against his conviction and life sentence in BJP leader Yogesh Gowda’s murder case. The Court noted that involvement of political figures in heinous crimes is rare in Karnataka, while the CBI opposed bail.
The Supreme Court denied Karnataka Congress MLA Vinay Kulkarni’s request for more time to surrender regarding the 2016 murder of BJP leader Yogesh Gowda. His bail was revoked due to attempts to influence witnesses. The court emphasized the need for expeditious trial proceedings without being influenced by the bail cancellation context.
