The anticipatory bail application of web portal journalist Poonam Agarwal and army jawan (retired) Deepchand was rejected by a Nashik Sessions court on Saturday. Agarwal and Deepchand have been accused under the Official Secret Act and IPC in the death of army man Lance Naik Roy Mathew, who was found hanging in an unoccupied barrack inside the camp.

Interestingly, neither Agarwal nor Deepchand were physically present in the courtroom and were represented by their respective lawyers.
