Magistrate says prosecution’s fear of evidence tampering genuine
Monson Mavunkal, the accused in the fake antique cheating case, was denied by a trial court here on Tuesday.
Denying the bail application, P.V. Rejula, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam, noted that the apprehension of the prosecution that the accused may tamper with the evidence and influence and intimidate the witnesses was genuine.
The custody of the accused was necessary for the investigation agency for his interrogation and collection of evidence, the court noted.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
