Courts Reject Bail Pleas of Accused in Baba Siddique Murder Case
The Supreme Court and a special MCOCA court in Mumbai rejected bail pleas of accused individuals linked to the murder of former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique. Akhilendra Pratap Sureshsingh was denied bail for allegedly sheltering the shooter and aiding his evasion, supported by call records and confessions. Similarly, Aakash Srivastav's bail was rejected based on his alleged involvement in the conspiracy and assistance to the main accused. Both courts cited evidence including call logs, confessions, and coordinated arrests.
