A Special (Vigilance) Court here on Monday allowed the Vigilance police to take arrested IAS officer Partha Sarathi Mishra on a two-day remand to interrogate him in custody.
In view of the voluminous documents seized from Mishra’s houses and considering the lavish lifestyle he was leading by visiting foreign countries several times, the Vigilance had moved the court seeking to take him on remand for five days.
On the other hand, a Vigilance SP refused to comment on the alleged vindictiveness of the Government against Mishra apparently due to his recent fallout with a State Cabinet Minister, with whom he had a cozy relationship in the past.
