Mumbai: The sessions court on Friday granted anticipatory bail to cardiologist Dr Lekha Pathak, booked on the complaint of former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ramrao Adik’s son, Prithviraj, alleging she forged documents to obtain a pension as Adik’s widow.

About The Case

Pathak approached the sessions court for anticipatory bail on May 5. The court directed the Marine Drive police, which lodged the case, not to arrest her and granted interim relief. The case stemmed from an order by the metropolitan magistrate court, following Prithviraj’s complaint. He alleged Pathak submitted documents to the ministry despite a prior settlement. Prithviraj claimed that after Adik’s demise in August 2007, Pathak received a pension as his widow, though she was never legally married to him.
