Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former city mayor Datta Dalvi was granted bail on Friday, two days after he was arrested for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
His bail plea was allowed by Metropolitan Magistrate (Mulund court) MR Washimkar. In the bail application, filed through advocate Sundeep Singh, Dalvi claimed that he was “innocent and falsely implicated” in the case.He has not played any role in the alleged offence, the plea said. The accused has been in custody since the day of his arrest and police investigation is almost over. Hence, no purpose will be served by keeping him in custody, it added. During their probe, the police found that a meeting was organised on Sunday by the Shiv Sena (UBT) in Bhandup, where Dalvi allegedly made objectionable remarks against CM. Subsequently an FIR was registered against Dalvi under IPC sections 153 (a) (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc), 153 (b) (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace). The rival factions of the Shiv Sena led by Thackery and Shinde are at daggers drawn since the party split in June 2022. PTI
