MUMBAI, Jan. 23 -- A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court has rejected an application filed by Bhima Koregaon case accused Mahesh Raut seeking permission to travel to Kerala for medical treatment. The court said adequate treatment options are available in Mumbai and permitting him to travel to another state would dilute territorial restrictions imposed by the Bombay High Court. Raut had sought permission to travel to an ayurvedic institution in Kerala for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's syndrome. The court held that Raut had failed to demonstrate that such treatment was unavailable in Mumbai. The court noted that Mumbai and its surrounding areas offer extensive medical facilities and observed that there was no material to show that travel to Kerala was medically indispensable. Rejecting the plea, Special Judge Chakor S Baviskar pointed out that earlier permissions granted to Raut on medical grounds had been confined to Mumbai or its vicinity and that allowing him to travel outside Maharashtra would run contrary to the conditions imposed by the High Court, which expressly restricted him from leaving the court's jurisdiction without prior permission. Raut was arrested by the Pune police in June 2018 in connection with the violence at Bhima Koregaon village on January 1, 2018....
