Mumbai Court Orders Protection for Uke Brothers Post-Bail
Two brothers, Satish and Pradip Uke, who are lawyers from Nagpur, were in jail for a money laundering case.
They were recently given bail, meaning they could go home.
However, they were worried that someone might hurt them on their long journey home, about 1,000 km away.
They told the court that they had problems with a rival group and even the police.
The court listened to their worries and told the jail staff to think about giving them police protection until they safely arrive back in Nagpur.
This is to make sure they are safe after being let out of jail.
A Mumbai special court ordered jail authorities to consider protection for Uke brothers until they reach Nagpur after bail.
Satish and Pradip Uke, accused in a money laundering case, were granted bail on October 7 after over three years of arrest.
The brothers had expressed fear for their lives from a rival party and police due to prior complaints and documented security concerns.
The court cited previous high court rulings and Navi Mumbai Police communications regarding security concerns in its order.
The Uke brothers were arrested in March 2022, accused of generating proceeds of crime using forged documents.
