New Delhi: A court here Monday sent six accused in the case involving the death of a 20-year-old woman, who had got trapped in the underside of a car and killed, to 14 days’ judicial custody.
“14 days judicial custody granted,” Metropolitan Magistrate Sanya Dalal said.
The prosecution said it was found during their custodial interrogation that the accused were aware of the victim’s body being dragged under the wheels.
The additional public prosecutor, however, did not disclose the identity of the two accused who got down from the car to inspect what was under the wheels.
The investigating officer informed the court that CCTV footages were being obtained, the route taken by the car was being established, and around 20 witnesses had recorded their statements.
He also said a new witness, who was around 100 metres from the spot of the accident, has joined the investigation.
Police had initially arrested Deepak Khanna (26), Amit Khanna (25), Krishan (27), Mithun (26), and Manoj Mittal in the case last Monday.
On expiry of their three-day police custody, the court extended their custodial interrogation by four days Thursday.
Later, they zeroed in on Ashutosh, who was arrested on Friday, and remanded in police custody for three days.
Another accused Ankush Khanna surrendered before the police Friday and he was granted bail Saturday.
Anjali Singh, 20, was killed in the early hours of the New Year after her scooter was hit by a car which dragged her for 12 km from Sultanpuri to Kanjhawala.
