Shoma Sen, accused in Bhima Koregaon violence case, granted bail by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to former Nagpur University professor Shoma Sen, who is among those accused in the Bhima Koregaon case, Live Law reported.

On March 15, a bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Augustine George Masih questioned the National Investigation Agency regarding the continued detention of Sen. Following this, the agency told the court that it did not need her custody anymore.

Hearing the case on Friday, the same bench said: “We have seen she is of advanced age and the effect of delaying trial at this stage…in addition to her medical conditions. She should not be denied the privilege of being released on bail.”
