Court denies bail in Pune bus stand sexual assault case

Pune, July 1 (UNI) Sessions Court judge AS Gandhi has rejected the bail application of Dattatreya Gade, accused in the alleged sexual assault case at Pune's Swargate bus stand. Gade is currently held in judicial custody at Yerwada Jail, a defense lawyer said today.
The defence counsel contended Gade's prior charges involved only theft and robbery, not sexual offences. He asserted the relationship with the victim was consensual and did not constitute coercion or rape. Opposing this, public prosecutor Ajay Misr and victim's representative Shreya Ole emphasized the act occurred without consent.
"Substantial evidence in the charge sheet and investigative reports confirms the accused's involvement," Ole argued before the court. She further highlighted concerns that Gade might attempt to damage the victim's reputation if released, citing past behaviour patterns.
The case surfaced on February 25 when a 26-year-old woman reported being raped at Swargate bus stand in the early morning hours.
After evaluating all submissions, Judge Gandhi denied bail, keeping Gade in custody as investigations proceed.
