Mumbai, September 05, 2022 (PPI-OT):A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court on Monday rejected the bail plea of prominent human rights activist Gautam Navlakha in a false case registered against him. Gautam Navlakha, arrested on 28 August 2018, moved the court for bail more than six months ago and in his plea has also cited health issues while seeking relief. He was initially kept under house arrest, but was later sent to Taloja prison in neighbouring Navi Mumbai.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the case, had earlier vehemently opposed the human rights activist’s plea for bail. Special NIA court Judge Rajesh J Katariya, who previously heard prosecution and defence arguments over the matter, on Monday rejected Navlakha’s bail plea. Details of the order were not yet available.
