The Kalyan sessions court rejected the anticipatory bail application of former corporator of Congress Godhumal Kishnani, his son Praveen, and Ravi Valecha on Monday. The trio is accused of killing gangster Naresh Asandas Pahalajani alias Naresh Chaddi in 2016 and the murder case was registered at Khadakpada police station in Thane last year in February, after much hue and cry.

Brother seeks action
Raju Pahalajani, the elder brother of the slain gangster, said that the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Dombivli division) JD More must arrest the trio immediately. “Since the bail application of the accused trio has been rejected by the court, Investigating Officer ACP More must swing into action to arrest them. The delay in police action will directly benefit the accused because they will approach the High Court to seek relief,” Raju told mid-day.
