Pune Court Grants Bail to Pranjal Khewalkar in Kharadi Drug-Party Case

The order follows police telling the court the investigation is complete.

Overview

  • Additional Sessions Judge J. G. Dorle granted bail to Pranjal Khewalkar along with co-accused Prachi Sharma and Shripad Yadav.
  • Hindustan Times reported the bail was allowed on a personal bond of ₹50,000 after hearings on the prosecution and defence submissions.
  • Khewalkar is expected to be released from judicial custody by Friday, according to the defence.
  • The case stems from a July 27 raid on a Kharadi studio apartment where police reported seizing 2.7 grams of cocaine and about 70 grams of marijuana.
  • Police earlier told the court cyber-forensic review found Instagram chats about procuring drugs and noted repeated room bookings linked to Khewalkar, while a separate privacy case registered by cyber police remains under probe.
