Diplomat Madhuri Gupta, accused of passing classified information to Pakistani intelligence agencies, was on Saturday produced before a Delhi Court which sent her to 14 days judicial custody.
Gupta, who was posted as IFS-Group B officer in the Indian High Commission in Pakistan, was arrested on April 23 for allegedly violating The Official Secrets Act.
The woman officer was produced before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja after the end of her police custody. During the chamber hearing, Delhi Police Special Cell sought two days further custodial interrogation of the accused which was, however, refused by the court.
"Madhuri Gupta is sent to judicial custody till May 15," Yogender Dahiya, counsel for Gupta, told reporters outside the Tees Hazari court here.
