CB-CID gets four-day custody of Pollachi case accused

The Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Coimbatore on Friday granted Crime Branch CID four days custody of K. Thirunavukkarasu, an accused in the Pollachi sexual abuse case.
TheCB-CID had sought 10 days custody, but Magistrate S. Nagarajan granted only four days — till March 18 evening.
The hearing on the custody application took place amidst high drama as the CB-CID that had planned to take Thirunavukkarasu to court decided against it. Instead, it established a video link between the Coimbatore Central Prison, where the accused is lodged, and the court.
Coimbatore City Police sources said the CB-CID decided against taking the accused to the court sensing that people who had gathered there could assault or harm him and that could lead to a deterioration of the law and order situation in the court complex.
