Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam yesterday opened the case, under Section 226 of the Code Of Criminal Procedure, against artist Chintan Upadhyay, who was arrested last year for allegedly murdering his former wife, Hema Upadhyay, and her lawyer Harish Bhambhani on December 12, 2015. Stating that he had enough evidence, Nikam argued that murder charges be framed against Chintan and four other accused in the case. The Dindoshi sessions court has allowed time till July 28, following which the trial will begin.
