Chemically ripened mangoes: man denied bail

A District Additional Sessions Court here on Tuesday denied bail to a city resident accused of ripening mangoes chemically using calcium carbide. Sanu E.D., 38, of Nettoor, was arrested here last month after police and food safety officials found calcium carbide being used to ripen mangoes at his godown at Maradu. The court said that Sanu could potentially influence the materials in the case if he were released on bail at this stage of the investigation. “Having regard to the nature and gravity of the offence reportedly committed by the petition, it is undesirable to release him on bail at this stage,” the court noted in its order.
