Mumbai: The Bombay High Court, on Wednesday, granted bail to lifeguard Mithu Singh, booked for the murder of MBBS student Swadichcha Sane, who went missing on November 29, 2021.
Observation Made By The Court
The court noted that the case is purely based on circumstantial evidence. During the arguments, the court also questioned the prosecution about the proof that the woman died, noting that there is still a possibility that she is still missing. The 18-month delay in the arrest of Singh was also questioned.
Sane, who was pursuing MBBS from Grant Medical College, Byculla, left her house to appear for her third-year exam on November 29, 2021. However, the family has not heard from her since. The police claimed that she went to Bandra Bandstand, where she met Singh and stayed with him for a long time.
It is suspected that Singh tried to get intimate with her against her will and could have killed her during a scuffle. Singh’s lawyer, Harshman Chavan, had sought bail for him, arguing that he is falsely implicated in the case. It was contended that Sane’s body has still not been found, and there is no evidence of Singh’s connection with her disappearance.
