The judgement was pronounced by the chief judicial magistrate of Port Blair after he was produced in court. Police sought remand to continue their probe against him and other co-accused who are yet to be apprehended in the case which has rocked the island territory.

The police on Thursday had arrested the senior IAS officer after his plea for anticipatory bail was rejected by a local court.

Soon after the verdict, a team of policemen reached a private resort where Narain was staying and took him to the Police Line amid heavy security.
