Kandivali Police produced Chintan before the Borivali Metropolitan Court this morning and sought further police custody as his remand ended today. Police also moved an application seeking narco analysis test of Chintan. Magistrate Prasad Kulkarni extended Chintan's remand by three days.
Chintan, also a painter, is accused of conspiring to kill his estranged wife Hema with whom he was locked in a legal battle. He was arrested on December 22 after being questioned by the Crime Branch.
