So we will produce him within the given time," Kumar told ANI. Asked about the police application in the court for cancelling anticipatory bail of retired judge Giribala Singh, he said, "Yes, this application has been filed in the court today."

Details of Surrender and Arrest

Samarth Singh, who had been absconding, reached the Jabalpur court on Friday. Samarth Singh's advocate, Jaideep Kaurav later said the police took Singh into custody. "He appeared before the Jabalpur District Court to surrender himself, but the court was not available. After that, the Jabalpur Police took his custody and handed him over to the Bhopal Police. I don't have any information about the commotion at the District Court. He had arrived at the District Court to surrender himself, but the judge there had already left because the court's time was over and the court was not available," he said.

"The police took his custody from the court and then handed him over to the Bhopal police. The Bhopal police have taken custody, so there are chances that they will present him in the Bhopal court tomorrow," he added. (ANI)
