New Delhi, April 06: An alleged gangster, deported to India from Vietnam in November last year, was today remanded to 12 days judicial custody by a Delhi court in an extortion case as the police said his further custodial interrogation was not required.
The Special Cell of the Delhi police produced Prakash Pandey, an alleged former associate of Mumbai’s underworld don Chhota Rajan, before Chief metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav on the expiry of his two-day custodial interrogation.
The court sent Pandey to jail till April 18 after the investigators said his custody was not required for probe in the case which was registered here in 2009.
Defence counsel M S Khan told the court that Pandey was to be produced at a Mumbai court on April 15 in connection with a Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) case registered there.
