NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Saturday remanded four members of the Youth Congress to five days of police custody following their arrest during a shirtless protest held at the India AI Impact Summit on Friday.

The accused -- Krishna Hari, Kundan Yadav, Ajay Kumar, and Narasimha Yadav -- were produced before the Patiala House Court after their arrest in connection with the demonstration that disrupted proceedings at the summit venue.

Seeking police custody, the investigating agency submitted that custodial interrogation of the accused was necessary to ascertain the larger conspiracy behind the protest, identify other persons involved, and examine the circumstances under which the demonstration was organised.
