The accused, Prabal Pratap (24) and Chander Bhan (23), were produced before Judicial Magistrate Ravi after the expiry of their police custody. Following the hearing, the court accepted the Delhi Police's request for judicial custody, directing that both accused remain in jail for 14 days.
The magistrate also ordered that the two be produced before the court again on July 29 for further proceedings in the case.
According to the police, the two law students allegedly created a disturbance during an ongoing hearing at the Supreme Court by using abusive language. They are also accused of physically assaulting a security staff member who intervened to maintain order within the court premises.
The incident, which took place inside the country's Apex Court, prompted immediate action by security personnel. The accused were subsequently taken into custody by Delhi Police, which initiated an investigation into the matter.
After completing the period of police custody, investigators sought judicial custody to continue the legal process. The court granted the request, sending both accused to jail while the investigation and related proceedings continue.
The case has drawn attention due to the alleged misconduct occurring within the Supreme Court premises, where maintaining decorum and security is considered paramount. Further legal proceedings will take place when the matter comes up before the court onJuly 29.
