But, later on the same day, Dharmendra was arrested by Delhi Police.

The police had said that they are still searching for the driver and owner of the car.

Defence counsel Aashutosh Bhardwaj had opposed the custody remand application. He said the accused was not driving the vehicle. There is no criminal intention on his part. Five days custodial remand is not justified.

Defence counsel had also submitted that the Akashdeep, elder brother of accused was also illegally detained.

However, the police denied the assertion. It was submitted that he was released after inquiry.

The court said to the defence counsel that if the police are dying in this way, there will be "no law and order." (ANI)
