Bombay High Court grants bail to 6 accused in Govind Pansare murder case

India Today  

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday granted bail to six accused in the 2015 murder of author and communist leader Govind Pansare, citing their prolonged incarceration. The prosecution claimed his killing was linked to the murders of activist Narendra Dabholkar, scholar MM Kalburgi, and journalist Gauri Lankesh, suggesting the attacks ceased only after key arrests in the 2018 Nalasopara Arms Haul case. The prosecution’s case hinges on four eyewitnesses, with Pansare’s wife identifying two accused and another witness identifying one. “There is no end in sight for the trial,” the bench observed, pointing out the slow pace of proceedings at the Kolhapur court as a key factor in granting bail.
