After being [produced in court, Sandip Ghosh and Tala Police Station OC Abhijit Mondal were remanded to three more days of CBI custody.

The CBI counsel noted suspicious call records linked to both accused, requiring further investigation. Mondal’s lawyer argued his client wasn’t the investigating officer and questioned the necessity of his arrest. The court questioned why no FIR was registered if a conspiracy preceded the crime. The CBI suggested Ghosh may have used his influence to prevent it. Additionally, Tala Police’s Additional OC Pallab Biswas was summoned by the CBI for questioning.
