The Dwarka Court in Delhi has granted a seven-hour custody parole to gangster Sandip, alias 'Kala' Jathedi, on September 20, allowing him to travel under police supervision to his native village of Jathedi in Sonipat, Haryana.
The parole window runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., during which the gangster will be escorted by police personnel. The temporary release has been authorized to permit his attendance at ceremonies related to his daughters, according to court records.
Jathedi, a figure with a significant criminal record, remains in custody but has been granted the limited parole on what appears to be grounds of family obligation. The court-supervised arrangement underscores the conditional nature of the release, with security forces maintaining oversight throughout his visit.
The parole grant reflects judicial practice in India that occasionally permits temporary releases for family occasions, even for individuals charged with serious crimes, subject to stringent security protocols and time restrictions.
