The bail of Reliance Industries in-house counsel Janhavi Gadkar, who allegedly killed two while driving drunk, has been rejected by the Kurla metropolitan magistrate in Mumbai today, reported NDTV and others.
Her lawyer Mahesh Sabnis told the court that she would cooperate with the police and that blood and RTO reports have all been received by the police, while the surviving victims of the crash were all discharged from hospital, according to the Hindustan Times.
However the police argued that since the case was triable by a sessions court, a magistrate could not grant bail and that her bail was previously rejected by the same court because the offence was serious and the investigation continued.

Full trial by media only, makes it very hard for her to ever have a fair trial...
If the public is baying for her blood, then have a speedy trial and sentence her. Not granting her bail isn't really helping her or the judiciary or the investigation or the victims. It's only the media and the eye-for-eye page view and TRP rhetoric that this is helping.
Justice is not served by denying her bail. Justice will be served when she is fairly and speedily sentenced.
