High drama ensued at Khar police station yesterday, as Indrani Mukerjea was finally allowed to meet her lawyer, but the police still refused to let her meet her husband, or in fact, even see his face.

For the first time since Indrani’s arrest, her lawyer, Gunjan Mangla, was allowed to meet her for 20 minutes. Sources said that when the police refused the lawyer’s request to let Indrani and Peter meet, she asked them to at least let Indrani see Peter’s face, if not talk to him.
