A local court in Gandhinagar on Wednesday sent Yuvrajsinh Jadeja, a whistleblower, youth activist and chief of the Aam Aadmi Party’s youth wing in Gujarat, to judicial custody after he was arrested in an “attempt to murder” case.
After detaining him at Gandhinagar on Tuesday, he was produced before the court on Wednesday. The police claimed that he “tried to run over a policeman while trying to flee.”
Mr. Jadeja was detained near the Gandhinagar police chief’s office where he had gone to meet job aspirants who were on agitation. The police claimed that the AAP leader first tried to assault the policemen and then tried to run way in his vehicle and when the policemen were running to stop him, he tried to run over.
