Why A is not correct for the second SC? Don't we use simple past wehntwo events are in past anf the first one is in past perfect?

Re: Tense issue [#permalink]
You need has been because he is still in custody and organization is reporting it now. and look at the underlined portion which tells he would be released. Just keep simple past and present perfect, no need to go in past perfect unless there are 2 actions (one done in the past before the other)
