New Delhi: The crime branch will interrogate businessman Navneet Kalra who was arrested from Gurgaon and produced before a Delhi court on Monday in connection with alleged hoarding and black-marketing oxygen cylinders, police said. Kalra was arrested late on Sunday night from a farm house located on the outskirts of Gurgaon. He was produced before a magistrate through virtual hearing, they said.

Investigating Officer Kamal Kumar asserted that his custodial interrogation was required to unearth the whole nexus and conspiracy behind the black marketing and know the trail of money transaction. The case was transferred to Crime Branch, but a team of south Delhi Police was also tracking him. On Sunday, they got inputs regarding his presence at a farm house in Gurgaon. A police team raided the farm house and apprehended him, they said.

The crime branch will investigate the matter, officials said. A Delhi Court on Monday remanded Kalra to three days of police custody, saying his custodial interrogation is required in connection with alleged black marketing and hoarding of oxygen concentrators amid the coronavirus pandemic.
