Mumbai: ‘Khar murder victim’s mom can intervene’ – Times of India

Mumbai: The mother of Jhanvi Kukreja (19), who was allegedly killed at a New Year’s party in Khar, has been allowed to intervene and oppose the bail plea of the accused Shree Jogdhankar.
Advocate Trivankumar Karnani submitted Niddhi Kukreja’s intervention plea which said that she was the “devastated mother of the victim and an directly affected party”. The plea further said her appearance is germane to arrive at a just decision in the bail.
In a bail plea submitted on Monday, Jogdhankar claimed he too was attacked on the staircase where he was sitting with the victim, and had subsequently left to save his life. In the plea submitted through advocate Mahesh Vaswani, the 22-year-old said he could not, though, remember who all attacked him as he was under the influence of alcohol. Jogdhankar and co-accused Diya Padalkar (18), both close friends of Kukreja (19), are accused of assaulting her on the staircase and murdering her after they attended the party.tnn
