In a significant development, the Rajasthan High Court on Thursday granted bail to Mohammad Javed, one of the accused in the high-profile Kanhaiya Lal murder case, which took place in Udaipur in June 2022.
Javed's bail plea, previously denied by the NIA court, was accepted by the high court's Jaipur bench. His counsel argued that Javed's arrest was based on phone call details lacking concrete evidence of his presence at the crime scene.
This ruling has sparked political controversy. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP of exploiting the case for electoral gains, while BJP leader Rajendra Rathore underscored his party's resolve to ensure justice for the victim, challenging Gehlot's accusations.
