Bombay High Court’s Nagpur bench Tuesday granted bail to disqualified Congress leader Sunil Kedar who was convicted in a bank scam last month. The bench also suspended his sentence temporarily.

Kedar, the five-term lawmaker from Saoner in Nagpur district, was sentenced to five years in jail on December 22, 2023, by a magistrate's court in a case related to irregularities at the Nagpur District Central Cooperative Bank (NDCCB) of which he was chairman from 1999 to 2002.
