Mumbai: A sessions court on Saturday rejected the anticipatory bail application of Shashikala alias Baby Patankar, who was recently booked in a Rs 1.97 crore cheating case. A search has been launched for Patankar, who had earlier been given relief till September 30. The court had ordered the crime branch to submit a report in the matter.

During the hearing of the case, the crime branch told the court that Patankar had denied knowing her co-accused Parshuram Ramkishan Mundhe, even though both had been in touch for a long time. The crime branch told the court they had records of hundreds of phone conversations between the two.
