Rajasthan High Court Grants Bail to Mohammad Javed in Kanhaiya Lal Murder Case

Mohammad Javed, an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case in Rajasthan's Udaipur, was granted bail by the Rajasthan High Court. Javed argued that he was arrested based on phone call details, but his location was not traced with the other accused. The NIA is investigating the case.

In a significant development, Mohammad Javed, one of the accused in the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, has been granted bail by the Rajasthan High Court.

Javed's plea for bail, submitted through his counsel Syed Saadat Ali, pointed out that his arrest was based solely on phone call details without substantial evidence placing him at the crime scene. The high court's Jaipur bench found merit in this argument after the NIA court had earlier denied him bail.

The case, which is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), involves 11 accused who face charges under various IPC sections including murder and criminal conspiracy, as well as under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
