Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party vice–president and former MP Kirit Somaiya moved the Bombay High Court on Tuesday challenging rejection of his anticipatory bail in the INS Vikrant case.
A special court on April 11 rejected his anticipatory bail. His plea mentions that the ₹57–crore case is of 2013 and is therefore politically motivated. It also says there is no evidence of his involvement.
A special court had also rejected Mr. Somaiya's son Neil's pre–arrest bail on Tuesday.
