    Summary: The Bombay High Court granted bail to applicant Vaibhav Vishwas Sawant in a road-rage incident resulting in death. Sawant was charged with assault and related offenses under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 for allegedly participating in a mob assault on October 12, 2024, that caused a man's death from internal injuries. The court granted bail on parity grounds, since co-accused Rakesh had previously been granted bail with identical charges, finding no material differentiating their roles. The court noted the incident was spontaneous with no pre-planning or motive, and that internal injuries cannot be attributed to the applicant with knowledge. Sawant was released on a Rs. 15,000 personal recognizance bond with surety. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
