NDTV · top

The Bombay High Court has suspended the life sentence of Virendra Tawde, convicted in the murder of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar. The court cited weak evidence, noting that eyewitnesses identified Tawde eight years after the crime. Concerns were also raised about the recovery of the weapon used. This suspension allows for a review of the conviction based on the presented evidence and legal arguments.
