Peter�s judicial custody extended

By The Assam Tribune

MUMBAI, Dec 14 - A Mumbai Magistrate court today extended the judicial custody of former media baron Peter Mukerjea till December 28 in the Sheena Bora murder case even as he moved an application seeking homemade food in jail on account of his ailments.

�The judicial custody is extended till December 28,� ordered magistrate RV Adone after Peter�s 14-day custody granted on December 1, expired today.

Meanwhile, the application moved by Mukerjea�s lawyer Kushal Mor, sought home food for Peter in jail as he is a senior citizen, having heart ailments and has been taking medicine to lower his cholesterol.

�In CBI custody it was being ensured that he gets proper healthy diet, now that he is in jail we need to ensure that he gets proper diet according to his medical needs,� Mor told the court.

However, CBI special prosecutor Kavita Patil said jail officials always take care of their inmates.

Magistrate Adone is likely to pass an order on Peter�s application tomorrow. � PTI
