Dehra Dun: Former Test cricketer Manoj Prabhakar's judicial custody in the chit fund scam has been extended up to July 21. Nainital Judicial Magistrate Devraj Prasad Singh, who extended the custody, also directed the chief medical officer to conduct a medical examination of Prabhakar, who is undergoing treatment at a hospital. The chief medical officer has been asked to submit his report on July 11. Prabhakar had been remanded to judicial custody on July 2 for six days in one of the three cases against him. Accompanied by his wife Sandhya, the ex-cricketer was brought to the court on July 9 in an ambulance. Large crowds could be seen in and around the court in Nainital to have a look at him. But Prabhakar did not come out of the ambulance. His counsel K C Upreti made a plea to exempt Prabhakar from being presented in the court, which was allowed by the magistrate. Prabhakar had been admitted to a nursing home in Haldwani after he had complained of pain in his fingers and legs following his arrest in Delhi on July 2 for his suspected involvement in forgery at the Apace India chit fund, a private non-banking financial company. He was arrested by the Haldwani police after a local court issued a non-bailable warrant against him. UNI
