Punjab State Women’s Commission Chairperson Manisha Gulati has been denied permission by Jail Superintendent Karnal to meet labor rights activist Nodeep Kaur, who has been in custody for over a month now.

A spokesperson of the commission said that this morning the Superintendent of Karnal Jail called up the office of Punjab State Women’s Commission and said that Gulati would have to get the approval of the Haryana Government to meet Nodeep Kaur, an activist of the Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan.

Nodeep Kaur was granted bail in an extortion case on Thursday but remains in jail because she faces another criminal case.
