indiaUpdated: Aug 29, 2020 10:28 ISTThe Bombay high court has rejected the bail application of a young man booked for stalking and later assaulting a girl with a knife since she rejected his marriage proposal. Justice Sarang Kotwal rejected the bail plea of Amol Kashid, primarily on the ground that there was a threat to the life of the girl if the accused was released. “Therefore it is not desirable to release the Applicant on bail,” he added and rejected his bail plea. The assault took place on April 9, 2019 and Kashid was arrested from Pune district the next day. Though she did not respond to his overtures, he continued to call her and send her messages.
