Kolkata, Nov 22 (IANS): A court, rejecting the bail plea of arrested Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Srinjoy Bose, Saturday sent him to CBI custody till Nov 26.

He was presented before a city court and after hearing the defence and the prosecution, the court remanded him to custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
