    Summary The Additional Sessions Judge, Buldhana granted bail to Vishnu Sukhdeo Bhalekar on March 11, 2026, in a case involving alleged abusive comments made toward Buddhist community members during a Dhammadan (alms-giving) event. The court found that witness statements were already recorded and further custody served no purpose, warranting release with stringent conditions including a ₹50,000 personal bond, prohibition on contacting witnesses, and restriction from entering the informant's village until charge-sheet filing. The charges involved abusive speech under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 351(3) and 352.
