Friendship proved dearer

Mukundwadi police station had registered an offence against a former corporator's son in connection with a beating case. Hence a plea was filed in the court for granting anticipatory bail to him. These two youths Kale and Palaskar were his friends and when the hearing upon the pre-arrest bail application got started, the duo dared to record the proceedings on their mobile phones, for their friend which ultimately proved dearer to them.
