Kanpur: The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Kanpur Nagar has denied bail to Vishal Gautam, a former employee implicated in the murder of 63-year-old medicine trader Vineet Minocha. This decision was made on Friday, following the legal proceedings surrounding the case.
Vishal and Raj were arrested after an encounter on Sept 6, while the woman was arrested the following night and sent to judicial custody. However, when Vineet returned around 10.55pm and discovered them, the two allegedly attacked him.
Police said he was stabbed repeatedly and his throat was slit before the accused fled. Solanki told police that his junior, who lived in Vishal’s neighbourhood, had met him and that Vishal had asked him to move the application. Meanwhile, a new twist emerged when Susheela, mother of Vishal, approached the police commissioner alleging a conspiracy to make her son the main accused in the murder case. Police found during an inquiry that advocate Shivaji Singh Solanki had filed the bail plea.
