Riyaz Bhati's case which is rich in intricacy is complicated right from the start. Bhati was detained by the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai police and faced serious accusations, including possible ties to the infamous Underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim. Salim Fruit, a well-known acquaintance of Chhota Shakeel, is also accused in the case, which complicated the situation even further. The stakes are raised further as Bhati is accused of violating several sections of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
In the Bail Application, a strong case is made for Bhati's innocence. Khan has drawn attention to the informant's inconsistent remarks and the absence of concrete proof connecting Bhati to the purported extortion. The Application states that there was no criminal plot involved in Bhati's interactions with the co-accused; rather, they were entirely social.
