In Bhima Koregaon Case, Court Refuses Bail To Three Activists

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused bail to civil liberties activists - Sudha Bharadwaj, Arun Ferriera and Vernon Gonsalves - arrested for allegedly inciting caste-based violence at Koregaon Bhima in Pune and having links with Maoists.

Justice Sarang Kotwal rejected the bail pleas filed by the three activists.

The accused were initially placed under house arrest in August last year by the Pune Police in Maharashtra and were later taken into custody on October 26, after a sessions court in Pune rejected their bail pleas.

The activists, who have been in jail since then, approached the high court last year.
