The lawyer representing former MP Aaftab Poonawala has approached the court again, alleging that jail officials have not complied with earlier directives.
The lawyer of former Member of Parliament Aaftab Poonawala has filed a fresh petition with the court, claiming that jail authorities have failed to act on the court’s prior orders.
The complaint was lodged after the court had directed the jail to take specific measures to ensure the safety of the accused.
The lawyer insists that the lack of action has exposed the detainee to threats and that immediate compliance is necessary.
The court is expected to review the petition and may order the jail to take corrective steps.
This development follows earlier reports of security concerns for Poonawala while he remains in custody.
