He also pointed out that Nalapad’s earlier bail pleas were rejected for the pendency of the investigation.
Shyamsundar also cited the High Court’s observation it made after watching the CCTV footage of Farzi Cafe where the incident happened. “Even the High Court, after watching the footage, had termed it as horrific, and had rejected bail,” he said.
