The Delhi High Court granted a three-day custody parole to incarcerated gangster Neeraj Bawania, allowing him to meet his ailing wife. The court's decision, announced on Thursday, permits Bawania to arrange necessary medical care for his wife, admitted to the ICU of RLKC Metro Hospital.

Justice Sanjeev Narula ruled that Bawania, whose incarceration is tied to a 2015 murder case, can oversee her hospital transfer and treatment. Court instructions mandate the Central Jail Superintendent to ensure Bawania's escorted transits between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. over the designated days.

The court stressed seamless collaboration with hospital authorities to prevent any operational disruptions. Despite opposition citing Bawania's history, his defense argued the urgency due to his wife's critical health, highlighting their decade-long separation.
