Delhi court: Sharjeel Imam sent to police custody

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday sent Sharjeel Imam, a JNU student-facing sedition charges, to one-day police remand so that his involvement in December 15 violence in Jamia Millia Islamia could be probed.

Imam has been arrested by the Delhi Police Crime Branch in connection with the case.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Gurmohina Kaur sent him to remand after another accused in the case told the police that he was provoked by Sharjeel's speeches. (IANS)
