Additional sessions judge N K Karande heard arguments for around 30 minutes on Thursday.
Several criminal cases were later registered against him and he was eventually dismissed from the police force, according to her. Police told the court that the DVR of CCTV cameras installed at the farmhouse was missing and needed to be recovered. KALYAN: The mother of dismissed police constable Shailesh Patil, who is on the run in connection with a gang-rape case, has demanded the death penalty for her son, saying he should face the harshest punishment for the alleged crime. Sulochana alleged that her son had gone astray during his years in the police force while trying to protect an IPS officer. She claimed that he was subsequently jailed in connection with the matter, where he developed associations with criminals. Padgha police opposed the bail plea, saying custodial interrogation was required to recover evidence. The investigating team also sought seizure of the car allegedly used in the incident. The defence claimed that she later made certain demands that were not fulfilled and that she had visited Pawar’s residence for Ganpati darshan after the alleged incident. The defence also alleged that the woman had recorded a video to implicate Pawar but had not called the police or anyone else for help.
Pawar’s lawyer argued that the woman was in a consensual relationship with his client and produced chat records before the court.
