Bombay High Court has rejected the bail application of Angela Sontakke, an alleged naxal.
Sontakke (42) was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti- Terrorism Squad in April 2011 along with six others for their alleged association with the banned outfit Communist Party of India (Maoist).
The sessions court in May last year had rejected the bail applications of all the seven accused, following which they approached the High Court.
"The other six accused were granted bail by High Court earlier, but Sontakke's bail was rejected last week," her lawyer Sharmila Kaushik said.
Justice S C Dharmadhikari, while rejecting the bail plea, observed that prima facie a case was made out against Sontakke.
Others who were arrested with her are Sushma Ramteke, Jyoti Chorge, Nandini Bhagat (22), Auradha Sonule (23), Siddharth Bhosale (24) and Dhavala Dhengale (36).
According to the chargesheet filed by ATS, all the accused, booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, had "organised several camps for imparting training in terrorism". They are also accused of 'acquiring and holding property' obtained with funds given by terrorist organisation.
