By: Tupaki Desk | 25 July 2017 11:18 AM GMT
Charmee Kaur moved Hyderabad High Court against the interrogation by Special Investigation Team (SIT). The petition has come up for hearing in High Court Today.
Telangana Government Advocate informed HC that Charmee will be questioned in the drug racket case as a witness. 'Petition moved by Charmee is a publicity stunt. Why she is scared if she has done nothing wrong? Investigation is happening as per NDPS Act. SIT is questioning celebs based on the information shared by prime accused Calvin. Blood Samples will be collected only if Charmee offers her consent. Charmee had even sent acknowledgment saying she would attend questioning,' said Advocate who appeared for SIT.
Whereas, Charmee's Counsel alleged interrogation process adopted by SIT is against the Law. He sought Lawyer of her client should be allowed to be present during interrogation.
Upon hearing the arguments, High Court took a decision in favour of the SIT. It didn't permit the presence of Charmee's Lawyer during interrogation. However, HC asked SIT to conduct the interrogation only from 10 AM to 5 PM. Justice mentioned SIT could question Charmee the next day if they need any more clues or clarification. In addition, A woman officer will be present during interrogation and blood samples willn't be collected forcibly.
