Sheena Bora murder: Court rejects Peter’s plea to attend niece’s wedding in Bengaluru

Mihir Gheewala, Mukerjea’s lawyer, argued that he was not a terrorist, referring to the CBI’s contention in opposing the plea, and said that being the eldest member of his family, he should be allowed to go to give his blessings to his niece.

Special Judge HS Mahajan said security and safety cannot be compromised in taking an undertrial outside the state jurisdiction and that if Mukerjea is willing, he can watch the ceremony via a video link. Meanwhile, on another plea by Mukerjea seeking a laptop to write his autobiography, the court has directed jail authorities to decide as per provisions in the jail manual.
