PUNE:

Karad, known to be close to Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, was remanded to 14 days police custody by the court at Kej following his surrender at the CID headquarters on Tuesday. He was produced in court late on Wednesday evening amid heavy security after undergoing medical examination at the government hospital.

Special public prosecutor advocate J.B. Shinde told the court that Karad's custodial interrogation was necessary as there was a connection between Deshmukh's murder and the extortion bid.
