yesterday. It was Srivastva’s teams which made all the arrests in the spot fixing case.u00a0“Well, there is no specific law, but we have IPC and MCOCA to depend on. Under normal circumstance we can file a chargesheet within three months, and under MCOCA we can take six months. But we will not wait for that long,” he said.
Additional Sessions Judge Vinay Kumar Khanna of the Saket court made very strong observations against the Delhi Police while releasing S Sreesanth and Chavan on bail.
