Shetty murder: court rejects Dabhade bail plea

Express News Service: Thu Nov 25 2010,
Pune : Additional sessions judge D R Mahajan on Tuesday rejected an interim anticipatory bail plea of Vijay Dabhade in Satish Shetty murder case. Dabhade had filed two bail pleas earlier. Dabhade had first filed a bail application after his arrest in January, but the court had rejected it. He later applied for anticipatory bail on medical grounds. Additional Sessions Judge U S Thakare granted him bail in August on medical grounds. Dhabhade had to undergo a hernia operation.
Shetty, an RTI activist, had found out that Dabhade’s buildings were on the land belonging to the Railways, and he ran a campaign against him. The CBI had taken over the case in June followed by Sandip Shetty’s demand for a CBI probe. Shetty was murdered in January this year.
