Mumbai, Feb 13: Suspended encounter specialist Daya Nayak today moved the Supreme Court against the Mumbai High Court order declining him bail.
The suspended police officer's petition before the apex court comes less than a week after the Bombay High Court, on February 8, had rejected the anticipatory bail pleas of Nayak and his alleged associate Rajendra Padate in a disproportionate assets case.
The court had granted them a week's time to surrender.
However, the High Court had granted anticipatory bail to Daya's wife, Komal Nayak at a sum of Rs 25,000 with one or two sureties for the amount.
Nayak, who has killed 83 gangsters in encounters during his decade-long career, has been accused of possessing assets disproportionate to sources of income under Prevention of Corruption Act.
