After this accused was arrested, he further gave the name of Shahanawaz Abdul Rashid Khan, who in turn, gave the name of Abhijeet Lad, who was introduced by the present Applicant. Shahnawaz Abdul Rashid Khan, during his interrogation had reported that Abhijeet Lad was introduced by the present Applicant. 4. The Applicant was in police custody since last 15 days. No recovery has been made at his instance. Similarly, no recovery has been made at the instance of Abhijeet Lad.
