Haseena bail appeal: Arguments to continue tomorrow

Mumbai, June 28 (UNI) Arguments on an application, moved by Anti- Extortion Cell (AEC) seeking cancellation of bail of Haseena Parkar in an alleged extortion and cheating case, remained inconclusive for the second day today.

The AEC had moved the application seeking the bail cancellation of Haseena Parkar, sister of fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim, which was granted by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate V K Sharma on May 24.

Arguing before City Civil and Sessions Court Principal Judge Ashok Bhangale since yesterday, Additional Public Prosecutor Geeta Vaiude had been contending the point of legality of property development and granting a bail after arrest of an accused person.

The arguements will continue tomorrow.

The prosecution's case is that Haseena had threatened Vinod Avalani, an estate agent, and refused to return his Rs 30 lakh, which was paid to two builders for a slum redevelopment project deal at Wadala here which, however, failed to take off.
