The Mumbai special court has denied bail to Yusuf Khan, a veterinary doctor and an accused in the murder of pharmacist Umesh Kolhe in Amravati. The court stated that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accusations against Khan are prima facie true and that there is ample material to show his involvement in the alleged conspiracy to kill the pharmacist.
According to the police, Umesh Kolhe was stabbed in the neck by assailants on a motorbike while he was returning home on his two-wheeler after closing his medical shop in Amravati on June 21, 2022. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered a case on July 2 last year based on the directions of the Ministry of Home Affairs, charging Khan and others under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
