HC grants conditional bail to accused Muhammad Sharief
Sharath Madiwala murder
Bengaluru, June 22: The Karnataka High Court on Friday granted a conditional bail to Muhammad Sharief, the first accused in the RSS worker Sharath Madiwala murder case.
After hearing the bail plea filed by the accused, Justice John Michael of the Single Bench of the High Court granted the bail on condition of giving Rs 2 lakh bond and surety of two persons.
After ten days of the murder, the statements of the witnesses were recorded. But the Bench observed that the investigating officers have failed to collect the suitable evidences against the accused and granted the bail to Sharief. Advocate B Lathief argued in favour of the accused.
On July 4 last year, some miscreants barged into the laundry shop of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala on BC Road in Bantwala taluk and assaulted him. Seriously injured Sharath died in the hospital. This murder had triggered communal violence in the Dakshina Kannada district.
