On Thursday, the Delhi High Court requested a status report from the Delhi Police regarding a petition filed by incarcerated gangster Neeraj Bawania. He is seeking a six-week interim bail to care for his sick wife, who is currently hospitalized.

On June 30, he was granted custody parole to visit his ailing wife and provide consent for her surgery. Bawania is in custody due to a case associated with the murder of a rival gang member in a jail van back in 2015.

Justice Sanjeev Narula instructed the Delhi Police to submit a status report and scheduled the hearing for July 9.

Senior advocate N. Hariharan, along with Advocate Siddharth Yadav, represented Neeraj Bawania. They argued that his wife is hospitalized and requires surgery.

The public prosecutor opposed his plea, arguing that a gang war is currently taking place in Delhi, resulting in bombings. The senior advocate countered these claims, asserting that Bawania is not a participant in the gang war.
