Bengaluru: The High Court of Karnataka upheld the decision of the Additional District and Sessions Court of the interim bail plea of Naresh Shenoy, on Thursday, June 9.

An Additional District and Sessions Court in Mangaluru had rejected the bail plea earlier.

Naresh Shenoy is prime accused in RTI activist Vinayak Baliga murder case and is absconding since long.
