Bail applications of five Bhima Koregaon accused – Rona Wilson, Shoma Sen, Sudhir Dhawale, Mahesh Raut, and Surendra Gadling – were rejected by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court on Tuesday, 28 June 2022.
The accused filed default bail applications in 2018 at a Pune sessions court stating that the extension of 90 days granted to the investigating agency for filing the charge sheet was "illegal." The case was then probed by the police. However, it was later transferred to the NIA.
The bail application was rejected by special judge Rajesh Katariya.
