The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the Maharashtra government, requesting a response to a bail plea filed by Dhananjay Shinde, an alleged serial killer linked to a series of murders in 2012, including the Oshiwara murder case. Shinde, who is associated with notorious gangster Vijay Palande, challenged the Bombay High Court's February 13 decision that denied him bail. The high court cited concerns over Shinde's potential to abscond and his criminal history, including a previous instance of jumping parole and remaining absconding for over two years. During this time, he was allegedly involved in multiple murders. The Supreme Court has not stayed the high court's order and will review the case after the Maharashtra government submits its written response within two weeks.
