Petition also seeks release on bail as case is based on false evidence
Shoma Sen, an accused in the Bhima-Koregaon case, has filed a plea in the Bombay High Court to quash the sanction to prosecute her under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Ms. Sen, who was arrested on June 6, 2018, by the Pune police, is lodged at Byculla jail. She served as the head of the English department at Nagpur University and taught for 38 years. Ms. Sen’s petition also seeks her release on bail as the prosecution’s case is based on fraudulent evidence, which was allegedly fabricated and planted to implicate her. The plea mentions the petition filed before the HC by her co-accused, Rona Wilson, who is lodged at Taloja Central Jail. Mr. Wilson’s plea relies on a report by a U.S.-based digital forensic analyst, who debunked all the electronic evidence gathered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).More Related News
