BHOPAL: The accused in the minor rape case in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district has been sent to 14-day judicial custody till December 11.
The accused, 23-year-old Salman, was produced before a judicial magistrate inside the high-security ward of Hamidia Hospital in Bhopal on Friday.
Unable to be transported to the regular courtroom due to a gunshot injury in his right leg, the magistrate personally visited the hospital and conducted the remand proceedings at the accused's bedside.
Heavy police deployment has been stationed both inside and outside the hospital to prevent any untoward incident. Salman was dramatically arrested exactly 144 hours after committing the crime.
Acting on precise intelligence, a special team of Raisen police nabbed him from the Gandhinagar locality of Bhopal late Thursday night.
While he was being shifted from Bhopal to Gauharganj police station in Raisen district, the accused suddenly snatched the service pistol of a sub-inspector riding in the same vehicle and opened fire on the police party.
