Coimbatore: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday got two days custody of Haron Paul, 29, of Achipatti, an accused in the Pollachi sexual assault case.

After judge Nandhini Devi granted two days custody, CBI took Paul to an undisclosed place for interrogation.
K Arulanandam, 34, of Vadugapalayam, P Babu, 27 and Paul were arrested by CBI on January 6 in connection with the case.
