Chetan Patil, not the designer but a consultant, granted bail in the collapse of a Shivaji statue in India.

The Bombay High Court has granted bail to Chetan Patil, a consultant arrested in the collapse of a 35-foot Shivaji statue in Malvan, Maharashtra. Patil was not the statue's designer but submitted a stability report for the pedestal, which remained intact. The court noted no case was made against Patil. Jaydeep Apte, the sculptor and contractor, remains in custody, with his bail plea to be heard soon. The collapse led to public protests and political debates.
