A senior court in New Delhi has ordered five-day judicial custody for Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, citing concerns they may commit further offences. The two were produced before the magistrate on Wednesday morning.

Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were brought before the Senior Equal Magistrate (SEM) at Mandir Marg Police Station at approximately 8:30 am on Wednesday for their judicial remand hearing.
The magistrate's decision to order five days of judicial custody was based on apprehensions regarding the accused's potential to commit additional crimes. In judicial custody remand orders, courts typically cite such concerns when determining that further detention is warranted pending trial or investigation.
The specific charges against the two men and the nature of the alleged offences were not detailed in the court proceedings. Both accused remain in judicial custody pending further court appearances and legal proceedings.
The case is being handled by the Mandir Marg Police Station in central Delhi. Judicial custody, distinct from police custody, places detainees under the supervision of jail authorities rather than law enforcement officials.
