Thane Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Ex-MP Vinayak Raut and Family in Domestic Abuse Case
The Thane Sessions Court granted anticipatory bail to former MP Vinayak Raut, his son Gitesh, and other family members in a domestic abuse case filed by his daughter-in-law, Girija Raut. The complaint alleges physical and mental harassment, financial control, and involvement in occult rituals, with charges under domestic violence and anti-black magic laws. The court noted delays in complaint filing and ruled that custodial interrogation was unnecessary, citing low flight risk and lack of prior records for most accused.
