Preet Mandir trustee held in adoption case
Asseem Shaikh, TNN, Aug 11, 2010, 06.04am ISTPUNE: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Pune-based Preet Mandir managing trusteeJoginder Singh Bhasin in Navi Mumbai on Monday evening for his alleged involvement in the "inter-country adoption racket". This is the first arrest in the case.
A special court here on Tuesday remanded Bhasin to CBI custody till August 13.
Bhasin had moved the Bombay high court for anticipatory bail after he was denied interim relief by the district and sessions court in Pune on July 30. During the hearing for the anticipatory bail plea on Monday, the CBI sought 15 days' time to oppose the bail. With Bhasin not getting any interim relief from the high court, the CBI arrested him at the office of the superintendent of police (CBI) at Belapur in Navi Mumbai at 6.20 pm.
Bhasin created a scene at the CBI office on being told of his arrest. He covered his face with a mask, saying he was suffering from swine flu and that he was experiencing chest pain. He was taken to the NNMC hospital at Vashi and JJ hospital in Mumbai for medical check-ups. However, the doctors reportedly told the CBI that he was physically fit and had no medical problems.
