PUNE: The
ongoing probe against developer D S Kulkarni, stalled because of his health
condition , will gather a fresh momentum after special judge J T Utpat ordered
his and his wife, Hemanti’s, remand in police custody till March 1.
The court also ordered that in case of any medical emergency
during Kulkarni’s custodial interrogation, the investigating officer “shall
provide him the best available treatment, preferably in Deenanath Mangeshkar
Hospital.” Earlier, Kulkarni, also known as DSK, was sent to the Yerawada
jail after a medical board of the Sasson General Hospital ruled that he was fit
to face the police interrogation. Around 3.30 pm, the police moved the special
court seeking his remand for custodial interrogation.
After the court’s order, joint commissioner of police Ravindra
Kadam said, “We will secure his (DSK’s) custody from the jail authorities.” The
Kulkarnis are facing probe over alleged cheating of several depositors by
defaulting on repayment of their dues with interest. On February 17, DSK and
his wife were remanded in police custody till February 23.
DSK was shifted to Sassoon General Hospital after he collapsed
and slipped into unconsciousness in the police lock-up on February 18. The
court then ordered his remand in judicial custody and allowed him to be moved
to Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital. The developer was since under a physical
evaluation process by the Sassoon medical board.
