Pharmacist murder: NIA court sends 7 accused to 14-day judicial custody

A special court on Friday sent seven accused, arrested in connection with the killing of an Amravati pharmacist last month, to 14-day judicial custody after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) did not seek their further remand.

The pharmacist, Umesh Kolhe, had allegedly shared social media posts backing former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, whose objectionable remarks on Prophet Mohammad had triggered a huge controversy.
