Chili Powder Evidence Fails: Accused Lawyer's Argument Flips MNS Leader Murder Case

• BJP candidate Shalan Shinde, accused in the MNS leader Balasaheb Sarvade murder case, was remanded to judicial custody.
• Police sought extended custody for Shinde to investigate her role, but the Solapur court rejected the request.
• The court's decision was influenced by the absence of chili powder evidence in forensic lab examinations.
• Shinde was arrested on allegations of using chili powder during Sarvade's murder.
• Accused's lawyer, Santosh Navhkar, successfully argued that no chili powder was found at the crime scene, leading to the rejection of extended police custody.

Why It Matters: Lack of chili powder evidence led the court to deny extended police custody for accused Shalan Shinde.
