Gurugram hit-and-run accused remanded to police custody for two days

A judicial magistrate in Gurugram has remanded the main accused and his cousin to police custody for two days in relation to a hit-and-run incident. The order came after police produced the duo before the court seeking extended custody to further their investigation into the case. The accused's defence counsel, Lalit Bindal, contested the custody extension, arguing that his client had already spent 24 hours in police custody—a period during which investigators had adequate opportunity to recreate the scene and gather necessary evidence. Despite the defence arguments, the magistrate granted the two-day remand, allowing police to continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The case remains under investigation as authorities work to establish the complete sequence of events and any potential negligence or criminal intent involved in the hit-and-run occurrence.
