The Bombay High Court on Tuesday rejected the anticipatory bail application of Maharashtra minister Siddharam Mhetre in Solapur murder case. 
Mhetre, a Congress leader and Minister of State for Rural Development, is facing charges of instigating the murder of a BJP worker at Shevgaon in Solapur district last month. 
While rejecting his anticipatory application, Justice AP Deshpande observed that the accusations were of a serious nature and thorough investigation was necessary in the larger public interest. 
A sessions court in the district had earlier rejected Mhetre's bail plea following which he approached the High Court. A BJP worker, Bhimanna Kore, died in a clash between two groups at Shevgaon village near Akkalkot in Solapur (south Maharashtra) on September 26. 
BJP alleged that Mhetre had instigated the mob though he was not present in the village then.
