Thane Court Convicts Man for Assaulting Cop, Grants Probation in 2018 Case
A Thane court convicted 30-year-old Aakash Lakshman Kavade for assaulting a police constable inside a police station in 2018, finding him guilty under multiple IPC sections. Two co-accused were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. Despite prosecution opposition to leniency, the court released Kavade on a good behaviour bond, citing his clean record since the incident. The defence claimed the case was fabricated and noted missing CCTV footage, but the court upheld the main charges against Kavade.
