A city court on Saturday remanded three Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) activists to judicial custody till August 2 for allegedly instigating people and putting up posters with proactive message against Congress MlAs in their area. AAP’s Delhi unit secretary Dilip Pandey, Ram Kumar Jha and Javed Ahmed were produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Sheetal Chaudhary who sent them to 14-day judicial custody.
“I find enough material on record which could substantiate the prosecution claim that it can create enmity among different classes/communities,” said the magistrate. The court has kept their bail pleas on hold. Pandey, Jha, a printing and logistic in-charge, and Ahmed, a designer, were arrested on Friday for allegedly instigating the people and putting up posters with proactive message against Congress MlAs in their area.
Seeking 14 days judicial custody of the three, the public prosecutor argued that the police have to conduct further investigation in the case to find out who was behind it. Prosecutor Nidhi Bala said the investigation is at an initial stage and the purpose of their arrest was that they were influential people and they should not influence witnesses or tamper with evidence.
