The former Gujarat Minister of State for Home, Amit Shah, was sent back to the Sabarmati central jail here on Sunday at the end of his two-day custodial remand to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
After being grilled by the CBI for more than nine hours on Saturday, Mr. Shah, who spent the night in the CBI lock-up, was taken back to the CBI office in the old secretariat building here in the morning and interrogated again for more than seven hours.
Later, he was produced before CBI special judge A.Y. Dave at 6.30 p.m. and remanded to judicial custody till August 21. The nature of the questions posed to Mr. Shah was not known, but CBI sources said he again tried to duck most of the questions saying that he could not recollect the details since the Sohrabuddin Sheikh-Kausar Bi murders occurred almost five years ago.
Mr. Shah had evaded most of the questions when he was interrogated by the CBI for three days in the Sabarmati central jail last week.
Thereafter the agency sought his custodial remand to secure clarifications on some issues.
