MUMBAI:

The lawyer, who was arrested in connection with the Elgar Parishad-Bhima Koregaon violence case, said he suffered from various ailments.

In response, the court on Tuesday said if he really suffered, then he should take bed rest.

The Elgar Parishad of December 31, 2017, to commemorate 200-years of the battle of Bhima Koregaon, a significant historical event for the Dalit community, is under investigation for allegedly being organised by banned Naxalite groups.

The NIA took over the case from Pune police, and charged 16 arrested activists, including Gadling, on charges of sedition, attempting to overthrow the government, and under provisions of the anti-terror Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967 (UAPA).
