Mumbai: The special NIA court has refused to grant permission to poet and activist Varavara Rao, booked in connection with the case lodged for violence after Elghar Parishad, to travel to Hydrabad for two months for his dental treatment. The court said he can avail treatment in the city's government hospital as well.
