NIA files charge-sheet in Amravati pharmacist's murder case

Mumbai: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday filed a charge-sheet against 11 persons in the murder case of Amravati-based pharmacist Umesh Kolhe who had shared social media posts backing Nupur Sharma.

The charge-sheet was filed before the special NIA court here.

The court had in September granted the central agency 90 days' extension to file the charge-sheet.

Kolhe was killed in eastern Maharashtra's Amravati city on June 21, 2022 after sharing on social media a post supporting suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma over her controversial remarks about Prophet Mohammad.
