A special court in Mumbai has rejected the bail plea of former policeman Vinayak Shinde, an accused in the Antilia bomb scare and businessman Mansukh Hiran murder case. The court stated that the allegations against Shinde, who was on parole at the time of the Antilia bomb scare incident in February 2021, were true.

Shinde, serving life imprisonment in the fake encounter case of Ramnarayan Gupta, was accused of assisting former policeman Sachin Waze in collecting extortion money and obtaining dummy SIM cards.
