A Special Court has sought a report from Navi Mumbai's Taloja jail after undertrial Abdel Basit Parihar, 23, could not take an online exam despite Court's order.

Parihar's Father told the Court that Prison authorities said there was no internet service in the jail due to technical difficulty.

Notably, Parihar was arrested in the alleged drug case along with 20 others, including Rhea Chakraborty.

Parihar was arrested on Sept 3, & his bail application had been rejected by the High Court of Bombay earlier this week.

Parihar is an architecture student in a city college. He had been given permission by the Court to attend an online exam on Thursday.

Parihar's father informed the Court that his son couldn't give the exam on Friday, as prison authorities claimed there was no internet service in the jail due to technical difficulty.

Special Judge G B Gurao directed the superintendent to file a report as to why Parihar was unable to appear for his online exam.
