Mumbai | Saturday | 30th March, 2019

Summary:

The court, while accepting the prosecution’s contention, rejected the anticipatory bail plea. A Sessions Court on Friday rejected the anticipatory bail application of a man serving as a petty officer in the Indian Navy, who was booked for allegedly abetting the suicide of his 33-year-old wife last month. On February 27, the Navy officials’s wife was found hanging from a ceiling fan of their residence at Colaba. AdvertisingThe official had approached the court seeking pre-arrest bail after his wife’s brother filed a complaint against him, his father and a woman he was reportedly having an affair. Opposing the anticipatory bail, the Cuffe Parade police had said that the official had an extra-marital affair, and according to a complaint lodged by the victim’s brother, his wife had informed both the families about it..
