New Delhi: Delhi’s Session court granted bail to accused Narender @Yudhvir, a prime member of notorious Gangster Neeraj Bawania’s gang.

Narender was earlier booked in offences including murder, attempt to murder, extortion and jailed since March, 2020 while charges have not been framed so far.

Advocate Ravi Drall who appeared for the  accused, facing trial under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), argued in his bail plea that accused has been falsely implicated in present case and there are no substantial evidences against him in the charge sheet to prove that he was a gang member of the syndicate further he was in custody since last year and due to the pandemic situation of COVID-19 there is no one to look after sickening mother, covid positive wife and minor daughter.

Advocate Ravi Drall further argued that mere abscondance of accused or pendency of cases doesn’t raise a presumption of accusation.

Their plea, however, was opposed by prosecutor Dharam Chand, who, appearing for the Delhi Police, said accused was involved in many cases other than MCOCA and there is apprehension that he may flee from process of law.

Considering all the facts and circumstances the accused was granted an interim bail by the court.
