New Delhi, April 18 (IANS) A Delhi court on Tuesday sent gangster Lawrence Bishnoi to seven-day custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Listed before the Patiala House Courts, the judge asked the agency to produce evidences on the expiry of the custody.
On Monday, the court of principal district and sessions judge Dharmesh Sharma had directed the authorities to produce Bishnoi on Tuesday after it was informed that Punjab Police (other party of the case) and other agencies are on the way to Delhi and they won't be able to reach here within court hours.
The NIA had produced Bishnoi before the court after bringing him to Delhi from Punjab on Monday for questioning in connection with a case registered last year.
Bishnoi is currently lodged in Bathinda Central Jail.
The court on April 11 issued a production warrant to produce Bishnoi in a case registered by the NIA under section related to waging war against the state, conspiracy to wage war against the state, various sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The above case is pending before the NIA court. The charge sheet has already been filed. He has also been named in other criminal cases.
Suneel Narayan, a 34-year-old finance professional from Bengaluru had, in 2018, registered himself as a potential blood stem cell donor with non-profit organization DKMS BMST Foundation India, dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders, such as Thalassemia and Aplastic anaemia.
The six companies and their directors were charged with conspiring with a company that provides telephone services over the internet, E Sampark, and its director, Guarav Gupta, "to forward tens of millions of scam calls to American consumers".
Ten of the arrested persons have been identified as Neeraj Kumar, Amir, Sandhya, Neeta Rawat, Muskaan, Harpreet Kaur, Nisha, Jaya and Deepika Moni, all residents of Delhi, and Sonu, a resident of Haryana.
Punjab BJP chief Ashwani Sharma said the alliance government will set up a special task force to probe the sacrilege incidents and fast-track courts to try such cases.
The ED on late Thursday arrested him after over eight hours of questioning. He was summoned for the second time. Honey was earlier summoned by the ED to join the investigation on January 23, but he skipped the first summon on health issues and did not join the investigation.
Leaving behind his celebrated tag of a top Punjabi rap singer with fans across the globe, singer-turned-actor-politician Sidhu Moosewala, who was booked for allegedly promoting gun culture and violence, takes pride in crediting his mother Charan Kaur, sarpanch of his native Moosa village, for making his electoral debut as a Congress candidate from Mansa for the February 20 Assembly polls.
