A special court under the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Act has rejected the plea of Bhima Koregaon accused and lawyer Surendra Gadling to use a laptop in Taloja jail. It has however permitted him to use the prison's computer on two days of the week.
Gadling had sought to be allowed the use of a laptop as he is appearing in person in the case. He had said that the documents in the case are voluminous and he needed to prepare for his own defence and hence needed the facility.
