Verma’s counsel R K Gosain told Metropolitan Magistrate Surya Malik Grover that he could not come before the court to record his evidence as he is in CBI custody since September 4.<\/p>\n
The judge said “the complainant (Verma) has not come to record his evidence for the third time, try to produce him on the next date of hearing, which is October 11.”<\/p>\n
