The police submitted that the probe in the case is going on and the accused may be remanded to judicial custody for 10 days till March 26 as three co-accused in the case Tabreez, Ashraf and Sheku are also under judicial custody till then.

Co-accused Tabreez, Ashraf and Sheku, who allegedly helped the key accused in the offence, were also sent to judicial custody on March 12.
