Chetan Suresh Kamble, known as Banty, was denied bail by the Greater Bombay Sessions Court in connection with a violent assault in Sion.
On January 31, 2024, Additional Sessions Judge Rajesh A. Sasne rejected the bail application of Chetan Suresh Kamble, accused of attacking a victim with a sickle, leading to grievous injuries. Kamble was implicated in a group assault, where he allegedly played an active role, as evidenced by the injury reports and the nature of the weapon used.

The defense argued for bail citing other accused having been granted bail, but the court distinguished Kamble’s role as more direct and severe compared to others, who were not the primary assailants or had different roles. The prosecution’s concerns about witness tampering and Kamble’s potential to flee were upheld by the court.

The decision reflects judicial considerations of the nature of the crime and the accused’s role when deciding on bail, particularly in cases involving violence with weapons.
