MUMBAI: A sessions court refused to grant bail to a man arrested last month for deliberately setting the video-conference department of Girgaon magistrate court on fire on June 19. CCTV footage showed him pouring thinner and lighting the fire. The court denied bail on grounds that the motive of the accused, Omkar Pawar, was still unclear and needed to be investigated.
It was alleged that the accused suffered burns on his legs while fleeing. The court said this virtually confirms his involvement.
“...He, as it appears from the circumstances of the case, did commit the offence with some definite motive...,” the court said.
