Mumbai, 24 Apr (HS): Nashik’s fraudster Ashok Kharat

has been again remanded to three-day police custody on Friday. He was presented

in the court for another offence registered against him, Kharat is in police

custody since his arrest on March 17. He was presented in the court through

video conferencing.

The Government Pleader stated that Kharat had

sexually exploited in his office situated at Canada Square after giving him

some liquid and sweet which made her unconscious. Kharat then sexually

exploited the woman. She was also threatened of his father’s murder, if she

reveals the incident. Kharat’s lawyer raised strong objection to his police

custody, which is being extended unnecessarily. However, the Government Pleader

replies to its queries. The court ruled out Kharat’s arguments and granted

Kharat three days police custody.
