    The High Court of Bombay (Kolhapur bench) granted anticipatory bail to Akash Suresh Chavan in a suicide abetment case. The applicant was accused of refusing to return intimate photographs to his ex-partner, allegedly contributing to her suicide in December 2025. The court found prima facie that whether the refusal constitutes abetment under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita is a matter for trial, and granted bail considering the co-accused had similarly been granted anticipatory bail. Conditions included a ₹50,000 PR bond, bi-weekly police station attendance, cooperation in investigation, and prohibition against tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses.
