New Delhi: A Delhi court on Sunday sent freelance journalist Rajeev Sharma, Chinese woman Qing Shi and Nepalese citizen Sher Singh to judicial custody in connection with the espionage case against them.
According to Sharma’s advocate Adish Aggarwala, the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate of Patiala House Court sent the trio to jail after they were produced at 9.45 p.m. at the end of their police custody.
On September 14, the Delhi Police’s Special Cell had arrested 61-year-old Sharma, who was allegedly working for Chinese intelligence.
During a search of his house in the Pitampura area, a laptop, some confidential documents related to Indian defence and some other incriminating papers were reportedly seized.
During his police remand, Qing and her Nepalese partner Sher Singh alias Raj Bohra were also arrested as they were found supplying Sharma with huge amounts of money, routed through hawala channels, for conveying sensitive information to Chinese intelligence, DCP Special Cell Sanjeev Yadav had said.
