@DelhiPolice

Additional Atul Srivastava says Delhi Police is seeking 5 days more police custody.

Court asks what about reply to Kalra's bail application.

#NavneetKalra

If police doens't file reply, I will hear the bail application without it : Court

PC is found to be necessary. I would convince this court : Srivastava

He says bail may be not be required once 5 days PC is granted.

#NavneetKalra

Navneet Kalra is virtually produced before the Court.

#NavneetKalra

I'll keep it for 3 pm. If reply doesn't come, I'll decide without it. Reply should come before 3 pm : Court

#NavneetKalra

I've made a complaint to the crime branch. My complaint is to register the case for murder : Dharmendra

How does it have a bearing here : Court

I'll satisfy the court.. I've moved the crime branch: Dharmendra

#NavneetKalra

Court to re-assemble at 3 pm.

#NavneetKalra

Hearing resumes.

#NavneetKalra

Judge has logged out. To resume shortly.

Hearing resumes.

I'm appearing with Mr Malhotra : Senior Adv Vikas Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

I've supplied copy of remand : Srivastava

Let's hear on PC then : Court

We've requested 5 days on 17th. It was allowed for three days. It was late evening when we took custody. We recovered Mobile. It is sealed : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Why custody is required then : Court

It was sealed and not seized. We moved application for desealing and making mirror image : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava says that Kalra has to be confronted with the transactions done through mobile phones.

It can be done even if he's not in custody: Court asks

#NavneetKalra

This is the first development. Primary object was to confront him and identity to whom was it sold...as per Sriram labs and AIIMS, it was said to be useless object: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra
#OxygenConcentrator

Srivastava says 23 banks are involved and these things have to be confronted.

We have received some reports.. 516 transactions are there. 6-7 banks have replied : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

These bank accounts are voluminous.. he along with the employees would be able to tell.. the CA of the accused. We took him to different places in last two days : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava says that investigating agency should be given enough time to complete the investigation.

We have never subjected this man to any mistreatment: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Court asks about MLC.

IO says MLC has been sent.

We've recovered iPad, diary : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

I don't want my submission is treated as trying to stop the investigation: Pahwa

Pahwa says Kalra himself handed over his phones and has cooperated with the investigation.

#NavneetKalra

My technical assistance is not required for mirror image.. these data (on laptop) are available on the laptop. My presence is not required. Bank statements are to be linked to the sale.. : Pahwa

I've already that I've accepted that all my 99% sale was through banking channel. It came to one account.. I've given the number also : Pahwa

They've not filed reply to bail : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava says he has emailed the reply to the bail plea.

#NavneetKalra

I got it 27 mins back : Malhotra

Being duty judge, I don't have so much time to dedicate to one matter : Court

Court asks parties to come to the bail application.

#NavneetKalra

Malhotra shows that actor Salman Khan imported the same Oxygen concentrators.

We've verified the fact. They are identical machines: Malhotra

Malhotra says even SpiceJet imported the same machines.

#NavneetKalra

Point taken. Any other argument? : Court

#NavneetKalra

The company's website says 2 L gives 90%...and 5L gives 60%. It keeps reducing. 9L is 30%. Their test report is that at 9L it is 32%. They should be fair to court. They should then ban these machines. Salman Khan got these machines: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

Malhotra says machines were bought by police officers and judicial officers.

#NavneetKalra

I will leave the meeting by 4 pm : Court

Salman Khan distributed free of cost. He has not made money. He never claimed it was premium oxygen concentrators and it was sufficient for two persons. He has fooled police officers also. Doing charity is not a crime : Srivastava

Government liberalised it for needy persons and not greedy persons: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava says website had the representation.

Court says the website was not of Kalra.

This is a case of conspiracy: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

The oxygen concentrators deteriorated the health of persons.. it is rather obstructing the flow of oxygen in human body : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Court asks about these instances.

Malhotra asks Srivastava to show the report where it says that Oxygen concentrators was at 10% capacity.

The report says 32%. We expect Prosecution to state the truth : Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

I will give order at 6:30.. I've heard : Court

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava continues to make submissions on net output of an oxygen concentrator.

#NavneetKalra

Please be very brief: Court to Pahwa

Court may decide the remand. Bail will take time..I don't want to create impediment in investigation. I need time to address bail..I don't want to argue in haste : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

I'll have to give a date then (in bail) : Court

We're not opposing for the sake of opposing. The grounds are not that they require my custodial investigation: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Dharmendra says he is a complainant.

This FIR is not on your complaint: Pahwa

Dharmendra seeks a copy of the bail order.

He has no locus in this case: Pahwa

I've heard you. I'll see what has to be done: Court

#NavneetKalra

Your complaint is not with him. Just because you've mailed me something doens't mean it's with me : Court

#NavneetKalra

Order at 6:30 pm : Court

#NavneetKalra
