Kami and Chhetri were produced in the Darjeeling court on December 15 and were sent to judicial custody for one day. On December 16 the two were sent to six days’ police remand by the CJM court.

The DIB who is investigating the Rangli-Rangliot arms case had sought an extension remand to investigate further but was overruled by the CJM court during the day. The bail plea of the two accused were also rejected.

The court on Tuesday sent the two arrested to judicial custody. They would next have to be produced for the hearing on January 30, 2015. “The court sent the two arrested to judicial custody and will have to be produced next year. This is because the court will be closed for the winter from tomorrow. Our extension plea for remand was also rejected,” said Pankaj Prasad, the assistant public prosecutor.
