Mumbai Court Grants Bail to Men in Fake PMO ID and Firearm CasePreviousNext

A Mumbai court granted bail to Rohan Parikh and his bodyguard Dilip Kunde, arrested for attempting to enter Jio World Plaza with a fake PMO identity card and a firearm. The court noted no evidence of ill intent or harm, and that the accused were unaware of prohibitory orders ahead of Prime Minister Modi's visit. Parikh admitted to fabricating the fake ID using AI tools. Bail was granted considering the lack of overt criminal acts and potential impact on Parikh's future.
