Dikshit's son-in-law sent to jail for day

A court here on Thursday reserved order on the bail plea of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's estranged son-in-law and sent him to a day's judicial custody in a case of alleged theft and misappropriation of his wife's property.

Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Sharma also rejected the Delhi Police plea seeking extension of four-day police custody of Syed Mohammad Imran.

Imran was arrested in Bengaluru last week.

Dikshit's daughter Latika had accused Imran of domestic violence and filed a complaint in June.

She alleged that Imran took away jewellery and other expensive items from her residence.

Latika and Imran, who got married in 1996, have been living separately for the last 10 months.

Imran has beem booked for misappropriation of property, criminal conspiracy, destruction of evidence and cheating, and also under the Information Technology Act.
