The Supreme Court of India granted bail to Arun Gawli, the infamous underworld don turned politician, after he served nearly 18 years in Nagpur Central Jail for the 2007 murder of Shiv Sena corporator Kamlakar Jamsandekar. The court cited his advanced age of 73 years and the duration of his imprisonment as primary reasons for granting bail while his appeal remains pending. This decision came after the Bombay High Court had previously granted premature release, which the Supreme Court stayed in June 2024.
