The police produced Hindu religious leader Kalicharan Maharaj in the court a day ahead of the expiry of his police remand, saying they had questioned him and did not need his further custody.
Hindu religious leader Kalicharan Maharaj, arrested over alleged derogatory remarks about Mahatma Gandhi, was on Friday sent in judicial custody by a court in Chhattisgarh's Raipur district.
The police produced him in the court a day ahead of the expiry of his police remand, saying they had questioned him and did not need his further custody.
After his arrest from neighbouring Madhya Pradesh on Thursday early morning by Raipur police, the Raipur court had sent him in police custody for two days.
"He was scheduled to be produced again on Saturday. But police completed the questioning and presented him before Judicial Magistrate First Class Chetna Thakur on Friday and requested that he be sent in judicial custody," said District Prosecution Officer Hina Yasmin Khan.
