Through his lawyer, Viral Babar, accused Riteshkumar Shah submitted that despite a clear directive from the court issued over a month ago, he was denied his religious dietary requirements. Last week, he told the court that his health seriously deteriorated as he was only surviving on chapatis for a month due to the jail's noncompliance in providing him with Jain food.

Mumbai: After an accused told the special PMLA court on Tuesday that his health seriously deteriorated as he was only surviving on chapatis for a month due to the jail's non-compliance to court order in providing him with Jain food, the judge issued a notice to the superintendent of Arthur Road Jail and sought a report by Friday. Through his lawyer, Viral Babar, the accused, Riteshkumar Shah, submitted that despite a clear directive from the court issued over a month ago, he was denied his religious dietary requirements.
