INDORE: An Indore sessions court on Tuesday rejected the bail application of Sadaqat Khan, co-accused in the Munawar Faruqui case.
The court of first additional sessions judge Yatindra Kumar Guru said that Khan couldn’t be granted regular bail on the basis of parity with the interim bail granted to Munawar by Supreme Court on February 4. Police had argued that if Khan were released on bail, it could lead to a “law and order situation, as in Ujjain recently”.
Khan, an engineer, was arrested on January 2 a day after Munawar and four others when he had gone to the district court where the others were being produced. A video of him being slapped by onlookers when in police custody had gone viral.
