Pune (Maharashtra) [India], Aug 22 (ANI): Pune Sessions Court on Thursday granted an extension of 90 days to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a charge-sheet against Vikram Bhave, an accused in the Narendra Dabholkar murder case.
On August 17, the court had rejected Bhave's bail plea.
