MUMBAI: National Investigation Agency (NIA) told the special court on Monday that accused Manish Soni’s statement was recorded by the magistrate court in businessman Mansukh Hiran’s murder case, and that he had been sent to judicial custody.
The NIA court was apprised of this development even as defence advocates were waiting for the remand hearing.
Last week, the court sent Soni and another ccused, Satish Mothkuri, to NIA custody until Monday, but NIA produced Mothukri on Friday. Defence advocate Rahul Arotecalled the investigating agency’s moves “unfair.”
