An accused individual, Riteshkumar Shah, who has been in judicial custody at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail since March, informed the Special PMLA Court that his health has “seriously deteriorated” after being denied Jain‑suitable meals—surviving only on chapatis for the past month—despite a previous court order mandating adherence to his religious dietary needs. His lawyer, Viral Babar, highlighted the non-compliance to the court’s directive, prompting the judge to issue a notice to the prison superintendent, requiring a report by Friday. Shah was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money-laundering case involving fraudulent bank accounts and alleged hawala transactions in Malegaon, and was earlier arrested in Gujarat for a separate offense .
