A Mumbai court has granted bail to Amarendra Singh, Mauris Noronha's bodyguard, whose weapon was allegedly used in the murder of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Abhishek Ghosalkar five months ago. Singh's involvement in the crime was deemed "highly doubtful" by the court.

VM Pathade, the Additional Sessions Court Judge, granted Singh, accused in Abhishek Ghosalkar murder,  bail on June 26. The order, which was made public on Monday, indicated that the police had gathered no significant evidence to show Singh's involvement in the circumstances preceding Ghosalkar's death. Noronha committed suicide in February after being accused of murdering Ghosalkar during a Facebook live session in Mumbai's Borivali neighbourhood, reported PTI.
