BJP Corporator Arrested After Court Rejects Plea to Cancel Non-Bailable Warrant
BJP corporator Akash Purohit was remanded to judicial custody after a sessions court rejected his plea to cancel a non-bailable warrant issued for his absence in a 2020 case linked to a protest over electricity supply in Mumbai. The case involves charges of wrongful confinement and assault against Purohit and others, including Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar. While some accused had their warrants canceled, the court cited repeated absences and delaying tactics by Purohit, leading to his arrest. He is expected to seek bail in the Bombay High Court.
