Court Denies Bail to Pune Resident in CM Fadnavis Post Case
A man in Pune named Santosh Darekar was not allowed to be released on bail before his arrest by the court.
He is accused of sharing a social media post that the court considered offensive about Maharashtra's Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis.
The court decided there was enough evidence against Darekar to deny him bail.
Police are investigating and said they need to seize his phone.
Darekar argued he was wrongly accused, but the court sided with the prosecution, believing the allegations were serious enough to warrant the denial of bail.
A Pune resident, Santosh Darekar, was denied pre-arrest bail.
