New Delhi [India], May 11 (ANI): A Delhi Court on Tuesday reserved order on the bail pleas of Matrix Cellular CEO Gaurav Khanna and other accused in connection with a case relating to the allegedly hoarding of oxygen concentrators in a restaurant in South Delhi.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Arun Kumar Garg said that he will pronounce the order tomorrow.
During the hearing, the court also slammed Delhi Police for coming out with a government notification on May 7 relating to selling of COVID-19 equipment not above the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) but registering the FIR in the present matter on May 5, two days before the notification.
On May 7, the police recovered 105 concentrators from two upscale restaurants in the Khan Market area.

Intensifying the manhunt for Khan Chacha owner Navneet Kalra in connection with the recovery of 524 oxygen concentrators from his restaurants in the national capital, the Delhi Police on Monday issued a lookout circular against him. Meanwhile, fearing arrest in the alleged oxygen concentrators hoarding case, Navneet Kalra has filed an anticipatory bail plea at a Saket court in Delhi.
The court has asked the Delhi Police to file their reply on the application of Navneet Kalra and the matter will be heard again on Tuesday.
The police have alleged that with help of his friend Gagan Duggal, who stays in London and owns Matrix Cellular, Navneet Kalra was importing oxygen concentrators from foreign countries at a lower price and selling them at triple the price to people in the national capital.
