The accused was produced before Judicial Magistrate Kartik Taparia, where the Delhi Police sought 10 days of custody to carry out a detailed investigation. However, the court granted only eight days.
Representing the police, Additional Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava argued that extended custody was necessary to probe a possible conspiracy and examine a potential “terror angle” behind the incident. He also informed the court that Singh’s mobile phone, which he allegedly discarded, is yet to be recovered.
