A court in Chhattisgarh sent Congress leader Ramgopal Agrawal to police remand until July 17 in connection with the alleged coal scam, his advocate Faizal Rizvi said.

Speaking to ANI, Rizvi said that Agrawal missed earlier summonses strictly due to medical reasons and co-operated with the enforcement agency as soon as a fresh notice was issued. Rizvi further stated that the agency was proactively informed about Agrawal's poor health before his appearance.
