Mumbai Court Grants Bail in Attempt-to-Murder Case
A 29-year-old man named Sonu Kumar Singh was arrested in April 2025 for allegedly trying to hurt someone during a fight.
He had been in jail for seven months.
The court decided to let him out on bail because they didn't think he really meant to kill the other person.
The fight happened when they were eating food on a footpath in Mumbai.
The man who was hurt wasn't in life-threatening condition.
The court said Sonu could come to court when needed if they set some rules for him.
Mumbai Sessions Court granted bail to 29-year-old Sonu Kumar Singh in an attempt-to-murder case.
Court cited lack of prima facie intent to kill and prolonged custody as reasons for bail.
Singh was arrested on April 14, 2025, after an altercation near Churchgate railway station.
The incident involved a scuffle where the complainant was allegedly assaulted with a sharp weapon.
Defence argued injuries were not life-threatening and weapon recovery lacked corroboration.
