India, Oct. 23 -- The Pune sessions court has granted bail to Rahul Sitaram Waghmare accused of attacking YouTube influencer and transport businessman Atharv Jagtap with a koyta during an alleged group assault outside a restaurant on Shirole Road on August 15. The court observed that the nature of the injuries and the circumstances did not prima facie establish an intention to kill.

Additional Sessions Judge SU Wadgaonkar, in an order pronounced on Wednesday, noted that although 11 to 12 people were allegedly involved in the assault, the injuries included a small laceration and trauma to the back. The court said the circumstances prima facie did not indicate an intention or knowledge to cause death.
