Overview

• The March altercation in Vakola began when Omprakash Sharma abruptly stopped in front of the Ansaris’ motorcycle, sparking a heated dispute.
• Anam Ansari was 30 weeks pregnant at the time of the attack, delivered her child earlier this month, and saw her April anticipatory bail plea rejected by a sessions court.
• Justice Ashwin Bhobe’s vacation bench held that custodial questioning was unnecessary given Ansari’s status as a new mother and her clean record.
• Prosecution had objected to bail on the grounds that the slipper and helmet used by Ansari were yet to be seized, even as the paver block wielded by her husband was recovered.
• Omprakash Sharma was hospitalized after the assault and died a few days later, prompting Mumbai Police to book Anam and Ahmed Ansari for assault and murder.
