As their 14-day judicial custody came to an end, the five accused Deepak Khanna, Amit Khanna, Manoj Mittal, Kishan, and Mithun were produced before the Rohini court on Tuesday, where the link court of Metropolitan Magistrate Ajay Singh Parihar extended their judicial custody till March 28.
On February 28, Metropolitan Magistrate Sanya Dalal of Rohini Court had extended their judicial custody until March 14.
