Singer-composer Palaash Muchhal's anticipatory bail plea was rejected by a Maharashtra's Sangli sessions court in an SC/ST Act case filed by actor-producer Vidnyan Mane. The order comes months after Mane accused Muchhal of cheating him of over ₹40 lakh in connection with an unreleased film. Mane had also made allegations involving Muchhal's former relationship with cricketer Smriti Mandhana.
