Srinagar, Dec 20: A local court here today extended by 11 days the judicial remand of one of the accused in paper selling scam of Common Entrance Test conducted by Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) last year.
The accused, Sajjad Ahmad Bhat was produced by Crime Branch before Special Judge Anti-Corruption Kashmir, Mohan Lal Manhas. The Crime Branch has sought extension in judicial remand of Bhat, saying that investigation was still in progress and "lot of incriminating evidence yet to be collected".
"Keeping in view the facts and circumstance of the case, application for grant of judicial remand is allowed and 11 days remanded is granted," the court said. Sajad was arrested on November 15 for alleged selling CET papers in 2012 to candidates through another broker.
After expiry of the time, the Judge said Peer shall be produced before a competent court for further orders.
