Arrest warrant against Prabhakar stayed
The Uttaranchal high court on Thursday stayed the arrest of former Test cricketer Manoj Prabhakar, an accused in a chit fund scam, for three weeks.
Justice P C Verma, while granting the stay asked
the police to file an affidavit in this regard.
Prabhakar's lawyer U P Singh filed a petition before
the high court, pleading that the former cricketer is not guilty in
the case and the arrest warrant against him should be put on hold.
A Haldwani court last month had issued a non-bailable warrant against Prabhakar in connection with a chit fund scam.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Director General of Police Anil
Raturi said on Friday, "We are in the process of studying the
court's orders. An affidavit will be filed within the
stipulated period as ordered by the high court."
