Lucknow:Â Sahara chief Subrata Roy was on Friday arrested in Lucknow following Supreme Court’s warrant against him for not appearing in court. Subrata will remain in custody till March 4 as the court refused to take up his plea against the warrant today, saying there is “no urgency.”
“This is the best honour my country could give me,” was his message, read out by son Seemanto after the arrest. He said his father had surrendered as a law abiding citizen.
On Thursday, a team of six cops searched Mr Roy’s premises for two hours. His 92-year-old mother was at home, the cops said, surrounded by a team of doctors, but Mr Roy was not.
He has repeatedly cited his mother’s illness as a reason for not appearing in court.
