Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshits son-in-law was on Tuesday sent to two-day police custody by a city court in a case of theft and misappropriating his wifes property. Syed Mohammad Imran, who was arrested from Bangalore and brought here on transit remand, was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Sharma who remanded him to police custody till November 17.

Delhi Police sought two days custody of Imran saying they have to recover the articles which he had allegedly stolen. Advocates P Banerjee and Neeraj Kumar, appearing for Imran, opposed the police plea saying the probe agency has violated the provisions of CrPC and he should be released from custody. The counsel argued that the arrest of accused was not mandatory in this case and the police should have given notice to him to appear before the officer.
