Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A special court in Mumbai has allowed the CBI to examine an additional witness, Narayan Pathak, in the Sheena Bora murder trial.
- Pathak, a Hotel Hill Top employee, will depose only to identify the signatures of deceased witness Vernon Fernandes on documents related to accused Sanjeev Khanna's hotel stay in April 2012.
- The court held this evidence essential to the case, while rejecting the defence argument that the prosecution was filling gaps in evidence after a delay of about three years and seven months.
- The trial, pending since 2015, is at its fag end with 149 witnesses examined so far.
What to watch next
