• Some accused (excluding Valmik Karad and Vishnu Chate) objected to Special Public Prosecutor Adv. Ujjwal Nikam, citing his political affiliations (BJP, Rajya Sabha MP).
• Adv. Nikam, who contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, requested the court to dismiss the objection application.
• Accused Vishnu Chate's bail application was heard, with his lawyers arguing his name was not in initial FIRs and he has no prior criminal record.
• The prosecution countered Chate's bail, alleging extortion demands from Awada company and active involvement; defense demanded assault videos before charge framing.
