A city court has granted anticipatory bail to a Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) official who has been booked for allegedly demanding sexual favours from a woman in lieu of promotion. Additional Sessions Judge Shayana Patil allowed the pre-arrest bail plea of MSRTC Deputy General Manager Virendra Kadam on Wednesday. The detailed order is not available as yet.

A 28-year-old woman working as an associate consultant for MSRTC has alleged the incident occurred on May 29, 2014 after a meeting at Kadam’s cabin. After the main discussion concluded, Kadam allegedly asked everyone present in the meeting except her to leave, the woman claimed. Kadam then asked the office aide to serve tea and biscuits, and the conversation about the project resumed, she claimed.
