Delhi's Patiala House Court has sent Hindu Sena's Delhi Chief Lalit Kumar to one day police custody, a day after members of the outfit allegedly vandalised the official residence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi.
The police sought for one day police custody for the 'purpose of recovery of weapon of offence, ie, the axe and to unearth the overall conspiracy', the court order with The Quint reads. The other four who had been detained have been sent to 14-day judicial custody.
The Delhi Court's metropolitan magistrate Amardeep Kaur said on Wednesday, 22 September, "In view of the facts and circumstances of the present case, I feel police custody of one day is sufficient," news agency ANI reported.
The incident took place on Tuesday evening at Owaisi's official residence in New Delhi's Ashoka Road.
