The plea for extending the police custody was not opposed by Advocate Vishal Chopra, counsel for Bishnoi.
Earlier on May 30, the Special NIA court refused to entertain the plea moved by Lawrence Bishnoi. The gangster, who is being alleged to have links with Sidhu Moosewala's murder has approached the special court suspecting a fake encounter by Punjab Police.
The accused's counsel, on the other hand, had denied the confirmation.
