A new year brings a chance to create dreams and is like a chapter waiting to be written, but the new year of 2021 landed a young man into a quagmire, the Bombay High Court noted while refusing bail to Shree Jogdhankar, an accused in the murder of Jhanvi Kukreja, who was found dead in a building in Khar on New Year's Eve last year.

A single bench of Justice Bharati Dangre had on July 7 rejected Jogdhankar's bail plea. A copy of the detailed order assigning reasons was made available on Friday.
