Police Sub-Inspector Daya Nayak is an "encounter specialist". He has personally shot dead more than 90 members of the Indian criminal underworld
MUMBAI: A sessions court here on Saturday issued a non-bailable warrant against Daya Nayak, encounter specialist and suspended police inspector, in a disproportionate assets case.
After the sessions court and the Bombay High Court rejected his anticipatory bail plea, Mr. Nayak moved the Supreme Court. It, however, declined to interfere with the High Court decision and directed him to surrender.
Earlier in the day, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) filed an application for the NBW. Additional public prosecutor R.V. Kini said Mr. Nayak was not found at his residence here and had been evading arrest since the Supreme Court made known its decision on Friday.
The sessions court also extended judicial custody for co-accused P. Manivelan till March 4.
It was alleged that Mr. Nayak had since 2002 accumulated wealth beyond his known sources of income. |
