Bombay HC grants bail to undertrial prisoner after 21 kg weight loss post-surgery
The Bombay High Court has allowed bail for a 59-year-old prisoner awaiting trial following a drastic 21 kg weight drop over 48 days while in jail. The man had a gastric procedure in November 2025 that involved removing 80% of his stomach, requiring him to follow a strict liquid or semi-liquid diet. The court noted that keeping him in detention, even within the jail's medical facility, posed a significant threat to his well-being.
