Belapur Court Grants Interim Bail to Manorama Khedkar in Navi Mumbai Kidnapping Case

Police plan to submit forensic evidence at the October 13 hearing as they probe alleged obstruction, including DVR tampering.

Overview

  • The order grants temporary protection from arrest until October 13, and in her plea she said she was falsely implicated and would cooperate with investigators.
  • The case began after a road‑rage incident on the Mulund–Airoli road, where a truck cleaner was allegedly taken to a Pune bungalow linked to the Khedkar family.
  • Rabale police booked her in Pune for obstructing officials from entering the bungalow, with officers alleging she blocked access and that the CCTV DVR was removed.
  • Police said truck helper Prahlad Chauhan was rescued the next day, and the family’s bodyguard, Praful Salunkhe, was arrested later from Shindkheda in Dhule.
  • Officers stated that Dilip Khedkar remains absconding and that a lookout circular has been issued against him, Manorama, and an unidentified accomplice, with possible additional charges under consideration.
