Bombay High Court Grants Bail to Man After 21-Kg Weight Loss in Custody
The Bombay High Court granted bail to 59-year-old Radha Mohan Mishra, arrested in June on criminal intimidation and blackmail charges, after noting his alarming 21-kilogram weight loss over 48 days in custody. Justice Milind Jadhav described Mishra's medical condition as precarious, citing symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, and dehydration. The court emphasized that continued detention could worsen his health and stressed that bail on medical grounds, though often misused, should be applied in clear cases like this. Mishra requires ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.
