Pune Court Sends Five Accused in Drug Case to Jail
In Pune, five people, including Pranjal Khewalkar, were put in jail after being accused of a drug-related incident.
The police are checking their messages and videos to find out where they got the drugs.
The prosecutors said Khewalkar often booked the apartment where the party happened and they want to trace the source of the drugs.
However, the defense lawyers said the police have everything they need and don't need more time.
The judge decided to keep the five accused in jail for two weeks.
A Pune court sent five accused, including Eknath Khadse's son-in-law, to judicial custody.
The prosecution sought extended police custody to investigate chats and videos.
Prosecutors stated Khewalkar regularly booked the apartment and partied there.
Defense argued police had recovered everything and didn't need further custody.
The court remanded all five accused in judicial custody for 14 days.
