Kundra In The Court: The Cold-War Begins

The police released a statement in the court that there is a lot of foreign currency in the account of “Vian”, Raj’s company. So this case needs to be properly investigated and meanwhile Raj has to be in custody with the rest of the accused.

The police demanded maximum custody of Raj and Ryan John, who are prime suspects in this case. In the court, Raj Kundra’s lawyer Abaad Ponda raised a ticket that Kundra’s demand for custody is “illegal”. But on the other hand police said that without taking Kundra in the custody, investigation cannot proceeded further.

Abaad Ponda argued in the court that the police did not file under section 41 before taking Raj’s statement. Rather, Raj was arrested without any consent and he was not even allowed to explain himself and was booked under non-bailable sections. Under all these consequences, Raj Kundra has been sent to police custody till July 23.
