Jabalpur: A local court has rejected
an application filed by the Madhya Pradesh police seeking
permission for extending judicial remand of alleged Malegaon
bomb blast accused, Sameer Kulkarni in a case relating to
arson in a Church here last year.
Judicial Magistrate First Class, Sanjay Singh
yesterday rejected the application filed by the Madhya Pradesh
police for the custody of Kulkarni.
Kulkarni`s counsels Deepak Panjwani and K D Singh said
that the police had failed to produce in the court Kulkarni
who was lodged in the Central Jail at Nashik.
The counsels also said that the State police was yet
to file a challan in the case on the ground that investigation
was in progress.
Madhya Pradesh police wanted Kulkarni`s judicial
custody to further interrogating in connection with the arson
inside the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral on September 12, 2008
in the Cantonment area here.
