The Delhi Police on Thursday sought five more days of custody of businessman Navneet Kalra, accused in a case relating to alleged hoarding of oxygen concentrators in South Delhi.

The submissions of additional Public Prosecutor (PP) Atul Shrivastava representing Delhi

Police came while seeking Kalra’s further remand.

The Delhi Police on Thursday virtually produced Kalra and sought five days further remand of him.

Additional Public Prosecutor representing Delhi Police submitted that the investigating agency should be given enough time to complete the investigation.

Metropolitan Magistrate Akasnsha Garg after noting the submissions of both sides reserved the order. The order on the remand application will be passed by the court today evening.

Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa appearing for accused Kalra strongly opposed the remand application and submitted that Kalra is fully cooperating in the investigation and no more police custody is required.

Meanwhile Advocate Vineet Malhotra, also appearing for Navneet Kalra also moved his bail application but an argument on the bail did not take place due to lack of time.

Advocate Vineet Malhotra submitted, There are allegations of low quality of oxygen concentrators against my client but Bollywood actor Salman Khan has also imported the same Oxygen concentrators. Even Spicejet imported the same machines.”
