A magisterial court sent Shedge and Watkar to police custody remand till January 17.

We will be taking the duo into confidence to trace the source of the weapons.” Earlier, Tambe produced the suspects before the court to seek custodial remand.
Assistant public prosecutor Nilam Yadav-Ithape told the court that custodial interrogation of the duo was essential to find out their individual roles in the crime, to establish the identity of the supplier and manufacturer of the firearms.
