‘Unfortunate people still prefer male child,’ says Bombay HC, refuses bail to man who killed granddaughter
The Bombay High Court denied bail to a man accused of killing his granddaughter, stating that preference for male children persists. The accused, Gopinath Janku Pradhan, claimed innocence and noted that the child's mother, also charged, had already received bail. The court emphasized the need to deter gender‑based violence and warned that granting bail could send a message.
