Dismissing the application, First Class Judicial Magistrate-I Uthamaraj held that the seer had already been &#8220;sufficiently interrogated&#8221; and there was no need to grant further custody. The public prosecutor had sought the extension when the seer was produced in a Kanchipuram court after the end of his three-day police custody. He submitted that the police needed to verify some bank accounts. It could not be done on Sunday as it was a holiday, he said. The magistrate held it was not necessary to interrogate the seer again. The court said bank accounts could be verified without the seer&#8217;s presence in custody. Jayendra replied in the negative when the magistrate asked him if he was tortured. To another question, the seer said doctors had been examining him thrice a day. The public prosecutor, meanwhile, submitted that the Shankaracharya was &#8220;cooperating&#8221; in the investigations.<BR><br \/>\n<\/P> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SourceKANCHIPURAM, INDIA, November 22, 2004: A Kanchipuram court on Monday rejected a prosecution plea seeking the extension of the police,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
