The In a development in the assault case involving Mahim BJP leader Sanket ‘Sunny’ Sathe, Yogendra ‘Aggy’ Parke and Anirudha Gaud, the latter two say a charge of Attempt to Murder has not been levied against Sathe, despite the severity of the attack on them. They say the police has not booked Sathe under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code for Attempt to Murder due to his connection with MLA Ashish Shelar, president of Mumbai’s BJP unit.
Punishment under IPC section 307 can extend up to 10 years of imprisonment, and in case the victim is hurt, then maximum punishment can be extended to imprisonment for life. The Mahim police had arrested Sathe for allegedly assaulting Parke, Gaud and one other on May 10. Parke is currently undergoing treatment at Raheja Hospital; Anirudha has been discharged.
