HC Rejects Bail for Yashin Machhli in Fake Pass Case
A man named Yashin Ahmed, also known as Machhli, was arrested in August 2025 for using a fake pass to enter the Vidhan Sabha (legislative assembly) in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
The pass was actually issued to someone else for a different vehicle.
The court refused to grant him bail because he has a history of criminal activities, and using the fake pass could have posed a security risk to the members of the assembly.
The state argued that he was using the pass for illegal purposes and that he had forged it.
The case involves charges under several sections of the BNS, 2023.
