Court allows 4 days' police remand for sex racket accused

A local court today allowed the police to take Sunil Meher, accused in a sex racket case, to four days' remand from tomorrow.

Meher, who was arrested by the police from Kolkata airport yesterday, was produced before the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate's court (SDJM) here.

Though the police had sought five days' remand of Meher, the court allowed four days.

The Quick Action Team (QAT) of the Commissionerate Police had apprehended Meher no sooner than he arrived at the Kolkata airport on a flight from Ahmedabad.

"We had sought five days' remand for Meher," DCP Satyabrat Bhoi said.

Police would try to elicit information from Meher about his network through which he allegedly managed to run the inter-state sex racket.
 

Meher is wanted in nine cases with regard to his alleged link with sex rackets for a long time.
