#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

When I bought oxygen concentrators from Matrix, it was through banking channels: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Application for police custody of Kalra was rejected by duty magistrate: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Malhotra reads from bail order in Gaurav Khanna case. They have registered the FIR first and then investigating.

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Dwarka Court had stated that oxygen concentrator is not an essential commodity: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

They (@DelhiPolice) have taken the gadgets used to procure oxygen concentrators, I will provide them bank account details right now: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

I have already provided the bills of sale. They can check the bank accounts. For this reason they need five days' police custody? Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Arrest is mala fide. They know that my bail application is coming up for hearing before the Delhi High Court tomorrow: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Remand must be granted only in cases of real necessity. Accused is ready to elucidate how he can help with the investigation: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

I had personally purchased concentrator. I got a call from the IO in the case saying that I should file a complaint saying that the quality of the concentrator was bad: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

For what purpose do they need custody? They have the money trail. They can get any information they want from me: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Malhotra takes Court through remand application filed in Gaurav Khanna case. The facts of the case are same as in Kalra's.

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Request for police remand is absurd: Malhotra concludes.

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Assistant Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastav begins arguments for prosecution. Addl Sessions judge held that the allegations against Kalra are very serious: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Concentrators were manufactured in China and not in Germany, as claimed by Kalra. Average output of the concentrators was much less than what was required: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Kalra collected payment for concentrators without delivering to persons in need: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

The ASJ has already held that custodial interrogation is required in this case: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Delhi High Court refused to grant relief in anticipatory bail plea filed by Kalra: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Persons who were sold these concentrators were in such need. They (Kalra and others) are greedy persons who have made lots of money during this time: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

He had not surrendered. It was the police who arrested him. The whole society is looking at the investigating agency and the judiciary in this case: Shrivastav

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

We have asked for just five days' custody. Thereafter we will come before this court with future course of action: Shrivastav concludes.

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

They have asked for my custody because they wanted my phone. I have already given my phone: Malhotra in rebuttal

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

My accountant has been with them for two days. They have all the bills. I will argue on quality of concentrators when I argue the bail application: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

What do they want to unearth through me? Matrix has sold so many concentrators; have they (police) gone to any of them? Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

State should act like a prosecution agency, not a persecution agency. If this is the way investigation agencies are going to behave, nobody is safe: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

I was providing concentrators at much cheaper prices than what is available on Amazon etc. They have just made me the poster boy: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Malhotra asks for OTP from Kalra's phone to pay GST on concentrators. Also asks that he be allowed to get continuing treatment at Medanta for stitches on his jaw. He had fallen down and fractured his jaw.

#NavneetKalra #OxygenConcentrator

Judge asks IO if he wants to say anything. Inspector Gurmeet Singh: Police has details of 524 out of 748 concentrators. We have to recover laptops and other gadgets. There are more things including the procurement system that need to be unearthed.

#NavneetKalra

Malhotra asks that Kalra be allowed to sign cheques to pay employees.
