Nagpur: With the Nagpur court insisting on a physical production warrant from the Kargil court to allow Sunita Jamgade's custody transfer, the visiting Kargil police team is likely to leave the city soon, said sources. The legal deadlock means the team could not proceed further without the mandatory documentation, leaving them with no immediate option but to return. Zonal DCP Niketan Kadam earlier confirmed that the Nagpur court had asked for a warrant functioning as a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Kargil court to formally hand over custody of Sunita, who remains in judicial custody. The Kargil team, which arrived on Tuesday, visited Sunita's home and attempted to trace her connections but could not interact with her due to legal restrictions. Officials are now expected to reinitiate transfer process after acquiring required paperwork from Kargil court. Meanwhile, investigations continue in Nagpur. Forensic analysis of Sunita's phone has revealed suspicious apps and cross-border chats linked to a supposed gemstone business that later veered into plans to enter Pakistan.
