In a significant development in the murder case of Baba Siddique, the Bombay High Court on Friday rejected the bail application filed by one of the accused, Akhilendra Pratap Sureshsingh.

Bail plea opposed by state and victim’s family

The bail application, filed on April 24, was opposed by the State of Maharashtra as well as the victim’s family, who participated in the proceedings as interveners. Both sides argued against granting relief to the accused, citing the gravity of the charges.
