In a major setback to suspended Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Anil Mahabole, the Sessions court rejected his anticipatory bail plea yesterday. The hearing was held in-camera, said the cops.
Mahabole is accused of raping, filming and blackmailing a housewife from Vinoba Bhave Nagar, Kurla. Mahabole had claimed in his bail application that the woman has falsely implicated him, and that she was blackmailing him and sending him threatening messages.
