Speaking as a lay person with no knowledge of law, one is unable to understand the rationale for sending to jail someone who has not been convicted of a crime. For an eminent person, normal questioning could be as efficacious as custodial interrogation. However, once that process is over, he should be home, awaiting commencement of the trial. If a flight risk is perceived, the passport could be surrendered to the court.

Whilst my knowledge of this case is limited to what the media feed fed me with. it would be reasonable to assume that there may be a case for bribery and/or money laundering against PC. However, the spectre of his arrest followed by judicial custody now, are clear indications of the whole episode being driven by political considerations than the severity of the crime committed. Historically, PC has shown contempt for North-Indian politicians and wore this aura of arrogance around him, which meant he didn’t connect well with many politicians within Delhi cocktail circuit.
