Sunetra Pawar’s brother acquitted in 2006 murder case; CBI to appeal in Bombay high court
The CBI will challenge the acquittal of nine individuals, including former NCP leader Padamsinh Patil, in the 2006 Pawanraje Nimbalkar double murder case. Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister confirmed the appeal to the Bombay High Court, citing disappointment with the special court's decision. The acquittal, nearly two decades after the murders, hinged on the unreliability of a key witness. This high-profile political murder case is set for further legal battle.
