A Special (Vigilance) Court here on Monday allowed the anti-corruption wing of the State police to take arrested Tripura-cadre IPS officer Joydeep Nayak on remand for two more days.
Nayak, a native of Odessa, was arrested on July 23 on graft charges. The Vigilance police had earlier last week taken him on remand for three days.
“We are taking the suspended IPS officer for further custodial interrogation in the corruption case registered against him in connection with his involvement in embezzling Rs 88 lakh meant for computer education of SC and ST students,” said an officer associated with the investigation, adding that the second remand period would begin on Tuesday.
