A Raipur court has authorized the Central Bureau of Investigation to hold Sourabh Chandrakar for eight days, after which he will be taken to Delhi for interrogation.
On 24 October 2023, a court in Raipur granted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) permission to hold Sourabh Chandrakar for eight days.
The decision followed a hearing where the CBI presented evidence linking Chandrakar to an ongoing investigation. The court approved the request, noting the need for further interrogation.
After the eight‑day period, Chandrakar will be transferred to Delhi where the CBI will conduct a detailed interrogation. The court did not specify the charges but confirmed that the case is under active investigation.
The ruling is part of the CBI’s broader effort to secure cooperation from suspects in high‑profile cases across the country.
