The accused Ruby Singh was produced in a local court from where he was sent to jail. “After Police Custody Remand (PCR) of Virendra Singh Tomar alias Ruby Singh ended on Saturday, police has produced the accused in a local court from where he was sent to judicial custody. Late on yesterday evening, a police team has carried out a search at Ruby Singh’s residence and recovered a register containing details of people to whom money was lent,” said Kotwali City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Dev Charan Patel. Based on details of the seized register, police will be taking the investigation ahead, added the CSP.
On being asked about the Ruby Singh paraded on street of Raipur, the officer said due to mechanical breakdown in police vehicles, the accused in custody of police was taken to Raipur court on foot.
