Pending Chemical Report Delays Mayank Lohar Stabbing Trial
A court case about the stabbing of Mayank Lohar is taking longer than expected.
The prosecution is still waiting for a chemical analysis report.
The court also said the accused, Roshan Suvarna, was not brought to the hearing.
This made it harder for the court to formally set out the charges.
The court has told police to ask the forensic laboratory for the report.
It wants the report by October 16.
The next hearing is also set for that date.
Lohar was stabbed in June in a first-class coach on a local train.
The trial in the Mayank Lohar stabbing case has been delayed despite Bombay High Court directions for a speedy trial.
At a Saturday hearing, the sessions court was told the prosecution had not received the chemical analysis report.
Accused Roshan Suvarna was not physically brought to court, preventing the framing of charges.
The court directed police to contact the forensic laboratory and obtain the report by October 16.
The next hearing is scheduled for October 16; Lohar was stabbed in June in a local train’s first-class coach.
