Mumbai Court Denies Bail in Forgery Case
A lawyer named Ramji Gupta in Mumbai was denied bail.
He's accused of helping create fake documents for a trust.
The lawyer is said to have notarized an agreement that the trust's chairman supposedly signed, but the chairman was actually in the hospital at the time.
The court didn't believe Gupta and found issues with his records, like changes in his register.
Because of these inconsistencies, the court decided that he needed to be taken into custody to figure out what happened.
