A special court here has asked the Byculla jail authorities to ensure that adequate medical aid is provided to an alleged woman Naxal member, arrested in connection with the blast carried out in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli in May 2019, in which 15 security personnel and one civilian were killed.

Nirmalakumari Uppuganti is currently in judicial custody and lodged at the Bycullla prison in Mumbai. Special NIA court judge, D E Kothalikar, on Thursday directed the prison superintendent to ensure that appropriate and adequate medical aid is provided to her.
