Mumbai Court Grants Bail to Nihal Solanki After Compensation Settlement with Injured Cop
A Mumbai sessions court granted bail to 21-year-old Nihal Solanki, accused of ramming his vehicle into two policemen at a Marine Drive checkpoint in May. The bail followed a settlement in which Solanki agreed to pay Rs 22 lakh in compensation to the injured officer, Assistant Sub-Inspector Krishnakant Mishra, who suffered multiple fractures and requires knee-replacement surgery. The court noted the vehicle was uninsured and clarified that the settlement does not affect Solanki's criminal liability, as he faces charges including attempt to murder.
