PANAJI: Accused in the Gauri Achari Murder case, who is currently in judicial custody at Colvale jail, has pleaded for urgent transfer of him to another cell owing to threat issues from other inmates.
Accused Gaurab Bidre also submitted to the court that he was allegedly assaulted by some inmates and needs dental treatment. This court has directed the jail authority to file a reply on January 30 and to take Gaurav Bidre to Goa Dental College for treatment.

Prof Gauri was teaching at the Government College, Khandola. On a fateful day, Prof Gauri went to college, and as she did not return home, her mother filed a missing complaint.
