NEW DELHI : A Delhi court on Thursday refused to extend police remand of businessman Navneet Kalra, accused in a case relating to the alleged hoarding of oxygen concentrators in South Delhi. The court sent him to judicial custody.
Earlier on Thursday, police had sought a five-day remand of Kalra to confront him with the transactions done through mobile phones, in which 23 banks are involved. These things have to be confronted with the accused, they said.
Additional Public Prosecutor representing Delhi Police submitted that the investigating agency should be given enough time to complete the investigation. The Delhi Police on Thursday virtually produced Kalra after the end of 3-day custody. Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa appearing for accused Kalra strongly opposed the remand application and submitted that Kalra is fully cooperating in the investigation and was no longer required for police custody.
