Father of Rona Wilson dies, lawyers to seek temporary bail for final rites

Wilson was arrested on June 6, 2018, by the Pune police. A plea filed by him, citing a report of a US-based digital consultant ‘Arsenal Consulting’ that stated “incriminating evidence” was allegedly planted on his electronic device two years prior to his arrest, is pending before the Bombay High Court.

Recently, the High Court had granted temporary bail to Wilson’s co-accused, lawyer Surendra Gadling, to visit his home in Nagpur to perform final rites on his mother’s first death anniversary.

Last year, the special court had rejected Gadling’s plea for interim bail for the funeral of his mother, who had passed away on August 15. The National Investigation Agency, which took over the probe from the Pune police, had opposed Gadling’s plea citing grounds including the seriousness of the offence.
