Praveen Jugnath’s lawyer Rauf Gulbul told reporters: “He gave an edition of his incidents and denied the allegations against him.”
He said that the pre-e-east Sunday would be seen in front of a judge later.
A police incident reported by AFP expanded a discovery by officials at another suspect’s house, which works for a local holiday company.
