The Chittoor police are likely to take Yang Ping (37), a Chinese national arrested in Hyderabad on Thursday and now lodged in the Nellore jail, into custody on Monday or Tuesday. The III Additional Judicial Magistrate Court in Chittoor is expected to hear the custody petition on Monday.
‘No criminal case’
Additional Superintendent of Police (Red Sanders Operations) Ms. V. Ratna said a petition seeking Yang Ping’s custody was filed in the court on Friday.
“The Chinese national is one of the buyers of red sanders. There could be many more like him. Our investigation will continue as per procedures. According to our knowledge, Yang Ping did not carry any criminal case against him. He was arrested for the first time by us,” she added.
