Karnataka High Court grants bail to five accused in Mumtaz Ali case
Mangaluru: The Karnataka High Court has granted bail to five of the six accused in the Mumtaz Ali case, with the exception of the first accused, Rehmat.
The five accused who were granted bail are Abdul Sattar, Rehmat's husband; Kalandar Shafi; Mustafa; Shuaib, a resident of Krishnapur; and Siraj, the driver of Sattar's car.
Mumtaz Ali, a businessman, was found dead in the Falguni River on October 8, 2024. His brother, Haider Ali, had filed a complaint against the six accused, alleging that they had mentally harassed Mumtaz, leading to his suspected suicide.
The Kavoor police had registered a case and submitted a 2255-page charge sheet to the Mangalore 3rd Additional District Court. The accused had filed a bail application in the Karnataka High Court, which was granted.
The court's decision comes after the Supreme Court dismissed an application by the police to take three of the accused into additional custody for further investigation.
