A special court in Raipur has authorized the Central Bureau of Investigation to hold Sourabh Chandrakar in custody for eight days, paving the way for his interrogation in the national capital. The development comes after Chandrakar's extradition from Oman and his subsequent arrival in India on November 3 evening via a private aircraft.
Chandrakar's custody grant marks a significant step in the CBI's investigation into the case. The agency is expected to shift the accused to Delhi where detailed questioning will take place as part of their probe.
The extradition process for Chandrakar had been ongoing for some time before his successful return to India from Oman. The eight-day custody period will allow investigators sufficient time to conduct their interrogation before the next court hearing.
The specifics of the investigation and charges against Chandrakar have not been disclosed by authorities. The case has drawn considerable attention given the international dimension of the extradition proceedings.
