Lalit Jha, the alleged mastermind of the
Parliament security breach, was sent to a seven-day police remand by Patiala
House court on Friday.
Lalit Jha was produced before the house
court after being arrested in Delhi on Thursday.
During the proceedings, he was
represented by his legal aid counsel, Umakant Kataria. The Delhi Police sought 15-day
custody of Jha from the court citing a detailed investigation that would
require the police to take Jha to different cities and places.
“He is a mastermind. We need his custody
to unearth the whole conspiracy and main motive behind the incident. We need to
travel and take him to different cities and places. We need custody to recover
the mobile devices also,” Delhi police told the court.
Despite the request, the Delhi court sent him
to a seven-day police remand.
