Back from J J Hospital,where she had been admitted,she attended a recent,basic Art of Living course,mandatory for prisoners,but did not play an active role. She also attended Women’s Day functions held at the prison without participating actively,the sources said. Superintendent of Prisons Sudhir Kingre confirmed Haveliwala had attended the course and other prison functions but did not comment further.

“I met her recently and she kept asking me when she would be out of prison. I told her all efforts are being made and a bail application has been moved in the Bombay High Court,” defence lawyer Renuka Laxmeshwar,said.

She added Haveliwala reads from the prison library and the Qur’an has been available to her inside prison.
