New Delhi: A Delhi court on Friday ordered Disha Ravi (22), accused in Toolkit case, to be sent to judicial custody for three days.
Delhi Police presented today in a Patiala court on Friday after the five-day police custody of Bengaluru resident Ms. Ravi ended.
Delhi Police said in the Patiala House Court that Disha Ravi has been evasive in giving replies during the interrogation and shifted the blame onto co-accused Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk, therefore, a notice has been served to Shantanu and that is the reason Disha has to be confronted infront of him.
The police requested the court to send her to three-day judicial custody, as they have served a notice to co-accused Shantanu, who will join the investigation on February 22, following which both will be confronted.
“She has been evasive in giving replies. We have served notice to co-accused Shantanu who will join the investigation on February 22. She has to be confronted with the co-accused,” Public Prosecutor Irfan Ahmed told the court.
The prosecutor added, “During the course of interrogation, Disha Ravi has shifted the blame on Nikita and Shantanu. All the accused need to be confronted with each other. That’s why three days judicial custody is being sought.”
Metropolitan Magistrate Akash Jain will pronounce the order on the police application seeking three-day judicial custody at 4 pm. The court was also informed that Disha Ravi has moved a bail application which will come up for hearing on February 20.
