Court Grants Bail to Former MLA and Wife in Businessman Suicide Case; Bail Denied for Corporator
A Pune court granted anticipatory bail to former MLA Ravindra Dhangekar and his wife in the suicide case of businessman Khalil Sheikh, who died on July 16 after alleging financial disputes in videos and notes. The court rejected bail for corporator Bala Shedge, whose name appeared in the suicide note and was accused of harassment. Sheikh's wife filed an FIR against 14 individuals, including Dhangekar, his wife, and Shedge, citing unpaid dues and threats as factors leading to Sheikh's death.
