Iskcon Flyover Accident Accused Seeks Bail Extension
Tathya Patel, who is in jail for causing an accident on a flyover, is asking the court to let him out temporarily.
He was previously given a short break from jail to be with his mother.
She needed surgery, but it was delayed because her blood pressure was too high.
Patel wants the court to extend his temporary release so he can be there when his mother finally has her operation.
The government is against this because the surgery date isn't set yet, but Patel's lawyers plan to ask again once the date is confirmed.
Tathya Patel, accused in the Iskcon flyover accident, seeks temporary bail extension.
Patel's mother's surgery was postponed due to high blood pressure.
He was previously granted one week of bail for his mother's surgery.
The state government opposed the plea as the surgery date wasn't finalized.
The court will revisit the matter after the surgery date is confirmed.
