Mumbai, Jan. 30 -- The Bombay high court on Wednesday granted bail to six accused in the murder case of rationalist Govind Pansare in 2015, on the ground of "long pre-trial incarceration".

A single bench of Justice AS Kilor allowed the bail petitions of the six accused who were arrested between 2018 and 2019.

Pansare, 82, and his wife were shot in Kolhapur on February 16, 2015, when they were returning home from a local eatery. Pansare died on February 20 while his wife survived the attack.P11
