A special court in Bombay on July 18 refused bail to an alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang member held in connection with the firing at actor Salman Khan’s residence last year, saying that the accused could not escape MCOCA provisions merely because he had no criminal antecedents.
The bail plea of accused Sonu Chander alias Sonukumar Bishnoi was rejected by the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act judge Mahesh Jadhav on July 18, details of which were made available on July 21. The special court held that evidence clearly demonstrated that Chander along with other accused and leader of the Bishnoi gang hatched the conspiracy to kill the victim.
