Partho Dasgupta was then immediately sent to judicial custody for 14 days by magistrate AH Kashikar. Partho Dasgupta will be put up at a school before being transferred to jail as is the norm during the pandemic.
His lawyers have at once moved a bail application which will be heard on January 1. Dasgupta looked upset over the bail application not being heard on Wednesday itself. But his lawyer Girish Kulkarni assured him that the court which heard his remand on Wednesday was only an in-charge court as the regular court is on vacation.
