Accused in acid attack seeks bail

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 22 Agustus 2014 | 22.23

MUMBAI: The defence in the Preeti Rathi acid attack case has filed a bail plea in the sessions court and argued that the accused, Ankur Panwar, was being made a scapegoat.

Defence advocate Wahab Khan said that the circumstantial evidence in the case was weak. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam opposed the bail plea and said that there was sufficient evidence against the accused.

The court is likely to pass an order on the plea on Friday.

Panwar was arrested on January 17, 2014, for allegedly attacking Rathi on a long-distance train at Bandra Terminus. The crime allegedly took place in May last year. Rathi died a month later. Khan argued that the injuries Panwar is said to have sustained in the attack were in fact very old. "The police relied the train's reservation chart, which had the name of the accused. However, there were three boys named Ankur on the list."

He further said that while the police claimed that the accused was known to the family, no one had come forward and recognized him until the arrest.
