A Lucknow CJM court on Friday reserved its order to keep Sahara chief Subrata Roy in police custody till 4th March, after Roy was produced before the court.
"I respect the procedure of law and I do not have any problem with it," said Roy.
Earlier in the day Roy had surrendered before the Lucknow police.
Roy's legal counsel Ram Jethmalani has confirmed that his client has surrendered before the police. Roy will remain in police custody till March 4.
"On February 28 morning, as a law-abiding citizen, he willfully decided to surrender before UP police," Roy's son Seemanto Roy told reporters in a press conference held here.
"Sahara India Parivar has always put nation ahead of business interest. In times of crisis we have always remained strong in times of crisis," he said.
Seemanto said, "We are committed to abide by the law. Subrata Roy is the patriotic son of the soil. We are fighting an ongoing legal battle and are confident that it will arrive at a logical conclusion soon."
"Sahara shri is not only a doting father for me but also a patriot son of soil, pains me to see his image being maligned," he added.
