Court sends SUV driver to 8-day police custody

A Delhi court on Tuesday sent a man who caused a security breach at the Assembly by forcing his way into the complex in an SUV to eight days’ police custody.

Police produced accused Sarabjeet Singh before Judicial Magistrate Kartik Taparia, seeking 10 days of police custody, but were only granted eight days.

“The allegations against the accused are very serious, and from the prima-facie case as brought on by the investigating agency, it does not appear that the accused is mentally incapacitated to not understand the consequences of his actions,” the court said.
