No pre-arrest bail for man facing charges of transporting beef to Ahmedabad
India TodayThe Bombay High Court has refused to grant anticipatory bail to a businessman from Mumbai who is accused of transporting 1,065 kg of beef which is banned in Maharashtra as well as Gujarat. The prosecution case is that on 29 July 2024, around 4.30 am, confidential information about a tempo transporting beef from Sangamner to Ahmedabad via the Mumbai highway was received. Following the seizure, the police interrogated the apprehended accused, and during the investigation, it revealed that Akin Harun Qureshi and Farhan Gafar Qureshi of Sangamner had given them the beef through Anwar Hazi for transportation and delivery to Yamin Qureshi. However, Additional Public Prosecutor Yogesh Dabke opposed the plea and submitted that there is sufficient material against the applicant to implicate him in the crime and emphasises that the investigation is at a nascent stage, and granting pre-arrest bail would hamper the investigation.
