Dharwad: The advocate representing ex-minister and Congress leader Vinay Kulkarni withdrew the bail application filed in the third additional Sessions court here on Thursday.
The court, which had fixed the hearing on Wednesday had adjourned it to Thursday after the CBI counsel requested a day’s time to file objection. Before the CBI counsel could file objection on Thursday, Kulkarni’s advocate gave a letter to the court that he was withdrawing the application.
It was not immediately known why the plea was withdrawn.
Kulkarni was arrested by CBI in connection with ZP member Yogeeshgouda Goudar murder and is in judicial custody till November 23. He is now lodged in Hindalaga jail on the outskirts of Belegavi.
