Jadhav has moved the court seeking a pre-arrest bail. District judge M M Walimohammad on Saturday granted him interim bail upto September 9, when the prosecution will file its reply.


Pending the inquiry, the state Government on Friday suspended Jadhav.

Thane police registered a case of molestation under section 354 of IPC against Jadhav on August 31. Advocate Anil Navle, Jadhav's lawyer, argued that the offence was bailable. He also contended that there was no case of sexual harassment, as reported by the media.

Jadhav was framed up because he took action against some erring jail staff, he said.
