Delhi Patiala House Court rejected bail plea of Ashish Pandey, son of former BSP MP Rakesh Pandey, who arrested for brandishing gun in Hyatt Regency last week in the national Capital.
Special Judge Sunil Rana dismissed the bail application of Pandey who was sent to 14-day judicial custody by court on Monday, till November 5, after police said he was not required for further custodial interrogation. Pandey had allegedly brandished a pistol at guests of Hyatt Regency threatening them in the foyer, a video of which went viral on the social media resulting in public outrage.
It prompted the police to step in and launch a hunt for the accused who had gone missing after the incident.
An FIR was filed on October 16 at RK Puram Police Station under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Arms Act relating to criminal intimidation and misuse of fire arms.
