IB staffer murder:Four-day police custody for Tahir

New Delhi, March 16

A Delhi court on Monday remanded suspended AAP councillor Tahir Hussain in four-day police custody in connection with the alleged killing of Intelligence Bureau official Ankit Sharma during the recent communal violence in northeast Delhi.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Pawan Singh Rajawat sent Hussain for custodial interrogation after the police sought his custody for five days. The judge said Hussain’s custodial interrogation was required to unearth a larger conspiracy in the riots that led to massive loss of lives and property and identify other persons involved in the murder of Sharma. — PTI
