Sources said that after completion of a police custody period of 14 days, including the tenure Shahjahan was in state police custody, he was produced at the Basirhat court on Thursday. This time, the CBI sought his custody in connection with another case. Earlier, Shahjahan was in custody in connection with the case registered on the basis of the complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) deputy director.
