New Delhi : A city court Friday extended to July 20 the judicial custody of Madhuri Gupta, a junior Indian diplomat arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Gupta, 53, alleged before the court that the jail authorities in Tihar are harassing her.
“Tihar jail authorities were harassing me and threatening to implicate me in different cases,” she said in a handwritten application submitted before the court.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja sought a response from Tihar jail authorities by July 13 on Gupta’s application.
The Special Cell of the Delhi Police is yet to file a chargesheet in the case and failing to do so will make Gupta eligible for bail.
Gupta, a second secretary at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, was arrested here April 22 on charges of passing on information to the Pakistani intelligence agency.
