Court grants bail to Maharashtra man accused of setting vada pav vendor on fire
India TodayThe Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to a man accused of setting a vada pav seller on fire in Maharashtra's Ulhasnagar in 2017, citing the slow progress of proceedings in the case. The high court bench of Justice Revati Mohite-Dere was hearing the bail plea of Suresh Ahuja, who had been accused of throwing a bucket filled with kerosene at his competitor vada pav seller Chandarlal Ramratyani and setting him on fire. According to the prosecution's case, victim Chandarlal Ramratyani was running his outlet at the exact spot where accused Ahuja used to run a vada pav stall. Advocate Swapna Kode, appearing for Ahuja, submitted on Thursday that on two different occasions, while rejecting Ahuja's bail plea, the high court had expedited the trial.
