Justice Sandeep Sharma was hearing the regular bail plea of a man, who has been in custody since September 25, 2025. He is accused of helping his nephew, the prime accused in the murder of his 24-year-old wife, flee the crime scene.

Indeed, every saint has a past and every sinner a future,” the court said on July 2. The court noted that the allegations related …

This is absolutely wrong,” said Devendra Fadnavis, reported ANI. ‘Criminals’ place is in …
