The judicial custody of the officer is extended till September 30.During the argument, N. Sundarvadivelu, counsel for Amitesh Harmukh filed a petition before the additional Mahila court judge Thilageswari and said that the police does not have any territorial jurisdiction to probe the case as the incident had taken place within the Air Force campus.Officials from the Indian Air Force also filed a petition before the court arguing that they wanted to conduct a detailed investigation and to court martial him.The prosecution objected to it and said that even after the victim had filed a complaint immediately after the reported incident on September 10, the Air Force failed to act on the complaint of the survivor. The IAF countered the police and said that the incident took place within the IAF campus and that both the accused and the victim are officers in the Air Force.The counsel for IAF argued that Amitesh would be tried under the Air Force Act and could not be arrested under the civilian law. The court after hearing both sides extended the judicial custody till September 30.The rape survivor, who is also a Flight lieutenant, appeared before the court.The victim had complained to the All woman central police station at Coimbatore on September 24.
