The prosecution is likely to file its reply on the bail application, filed by accused Anil Waghmode, next week. Waghmode had filed a bail application on medical grounds.
Meanwhile, president of Mumbai Press Club on Tuesday met Vora in the court. “We were just concerned about the safety and security of Vora. We went there to enquire if she had a legal counsel to represent her,” Gurubir Singh, president of the Mumbai Press Club said.
Vora, Deputy Bureau Chief of the Asian Age, was arrested on November 25 under the MCOCA, on charges of providing vital information, like supplying licence plate number of the motorcycle and address of the slain journalist to Rajan.
