Delhi police arrested Rajwinder Singh, an Australian citizen of Indian origin, on the national capital's outskirts last Friday after the Queensland government announced earlier this month a record $1 million reward for his capture.
Singh, who was remanded in judicial custody for five days, was due to appear in a Delhi magistrate's court on Wednesday for a hearing on Australia's bid to extradite him to stand trial for Cordingley's murder.
