Former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray was denied permission to meet his close aide and party’s member of parliament Sanjay Raut at Arthur Road Jail on Wednesday.
Mr. Thackeray had requested to meet Mr. Raut in the jailor’s cabin. However, the permission was refused as such a meeting can only be allowed after a favourable court order.
Requesting anonymity, the jail authorities said, “We were not given any written application for such a specific request, therefore it was denied as per the jail manual”.
