He said the police did not have solid evidence. Girase claimed Verma’s arrest was illegal because the ATS did not follow legal procedures. The lawyer said the court had not seen any proof. He added that the blue diary recovered from Verma contained only work-related notes. Regarding large transactions in Verma’s bank account, the defence said ₹2,000 was sent by a woman named Preeti for Verma’s niece. The defence argued against extending police custody, saying all documents had already been recovered.The ATS reportedly said Verma had access to the Naval Dockyard in South Mumbai. He also boarded naval ships and submarines due to his work. The ATS suspects he shared the names of submarines and warships with the Pakistani agent.(With inputs from agencies)
