During the investigation, police informed the court that the accused had allegedly attacked former DCP Niketan Kadam with an axe during the violence, causing injuries. The prosecution argued that the offence was grave in nature and opposed the bail plea.
After considering the submissions made by both parties, the court granted bail to the accused on a personal bond of Rs 1.5 lakh. However, the court imposed strict conditions while granting relief.
As per the order, Mohammad Gazi Iftekhar will have to mark his attendance at Ganeshpeth Police Station every Monday and Thursday. The court also directed the accused not to influence witnesses or interfere with the ongoing investigation in any manner.
