NEARLY THREE months after his arrest, Manish Bhangale, the “ethical hacker” who had allegedly used forged documents to show that former Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse had communicated with fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, was released on bail by the sessions court on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the police had filed a nearly 700-page chargesheet against Bhangale in which they charged him for making allegations against Khadse for publicity.
An officer linked to the probe said: “A city sessions court granted him bail on Wednesday. There are several conditions laid down by the court for granting him bail.”
