‘Right to life': Cal HC cites trial delay, grants bail to 2 in 2012 murder case
Kolkata: Citing right to life and liberty and linking a delay in trial with it, the Calcutta High Court recently granted bail to two murder accused following more than 12 years of incarceration. The duo, along with two others, had been accused of killing two of a Kolkata family and their two maids. The murders of 48-year-old Dipak Bhattacharya, who ran a small cable TV business, his 78-year-old bedridden mother Gouri Bhattacharya, and their maids — Mayna Roy and Anima Mondal — took place on Sept 6, 2012. On Sept 9, police arrested four employees of Dipak for the crime. Munna Dhali, Nabu dhali, Rajesh Das and Sattar Mondal were accused of breaking into Dipak's Biren Roy (West) Road house and committing the murders. They could not steal anything and fled as a phone started ringing in the house. Autopsy reports revealed that the victims' throat injuries were due to smothering and manual strangulation. Recently, alleged mastermind Munna and Nabu approached the Calcutta High Court for bail. In Feb 2025, Rajesh was granted bail by a division bench and the high court had cited Article 21 then as well. During the hearing, the state had undertaken to examine five more witnesses and assured completion of probe within two months from Feb 24. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like O novo dispositivo que os idosos usam para ajudar na neuropatia (dor nos nervos) A arte do herbalismo Undo On April 24, the high court turned down the bail plea of another co-accused, Sattar.

Rohit Sharma mock-gestures a punch as fan follows him during Wankhede stand-unveiling event; shares a hug moments later
Rohit Sharma shared a light-hearted moment with his well-known fan, Dipak Patel, during the unveiling of the 'Rohit Sharma Stand' at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Friday. On the sidelines of the ceremony, Rohit noticed Dipak waving the Indian flag; after a brief interaction and posing for a photo together, the fan playfully followed him, prompting Rohit to mock-gesture a punch, instantly drawing smiles from those present. Moments later, Rohit warmly side-hugged Dipak, much to the delight of everyone around. The affectionate exchange drew smiles on the internet on an otherwise historic occasion, as the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officially named a stand after Rohit. The decision was made last month, alongside stands named for former India captain Ajit Wadekar and ex-BCCI president Sharad Pawar. Speaking on the occasion, Rohit reflected on the significance of the honor. 'I had never dreamt of what was going to happen today. You try to achieve a lot of milestones, but something like this is really special, because Wankhede is an iconic stadium and so many memories have been made here,' he said. 'It will be a surreal feeling when I come here and play for Mumbai Indians. It will even get special when I represent the country, whenever that happens. To have this honour in front of my family, my mom and dad, my brother and his wife, and my wife. Very special people in my life and I'm so grateful for things they have sacrificed for me to stand here,' Rohit added. Rohit recently announced his retirement from Test cricket, concluding a career that spanned 67 matches with 4,301 runs at an average of 40.58. He also stepped away from T20 Internationals after leading India to the World Cup triumph last year. The Mumbai Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, who was present for the event, praised Rohit as an 'iconic batter' and pledged support for the MCA's proposal to build a new stadium, saying, 'If there is a proposal from MCA for a new stadium, we will allot space for that to accommodate more fans.'
