The bail came following Yadav’s plea informing the court about the death of his father Krishnaiah due to cancer. Sunil Yadav, who is accused number 2 in the five-year-old murder case, sought through his counsel bail to attend his father’s funeral in Pulivendula area of Kadapa district.
He is currently in judicial remand at Chanchalguda prison in Hyderabad along with other accused.
Following the plea, the TS High Court granted Sunil Yadav bail to attend the funeral of his father as well as the last rites on September 9 and September 10. The accused has also been granted permission to attend the traditional offerings to the deceased father on September 17 and September 18.
