Nashik Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Kalpana Kharat in Land Fraud Case
The Nashik District Sessions Court granted anticipatory bail to Kalpana Kharat in a land fraud and black magic case involving a disputed 16.5-acre plot. The FIR alleges fraudulent land possession and intimidation, with claims of a low-value sale deed and ritual practices. The court noted a 20-year delay in filing the complaint and found no evidence of Kalpana's direct involvement or threats, treating the matter as a civil dispute rather than criminal. Kalpana is also linked to a separate land-related case.
