A Delhi court has remanded AAP MLA Somnath Bharti to two days of police custody.
The former Delhi law minister was formally arrested around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, hours after he surrendered at Dwarka (North) police station on Monday night.
Mr. Bharti had been evading arrest for almost a week before >surrendering upon the Supreme Court’s directions in a case of domestic violence and attempt to murder filed by his estranged wife Lipika Mitra.
Senior police officials said Mr. Bharti refused to cooperate during interrogation so far. He could be taken to Agra and Mathura to confront him with his "harbourers," said police sources.
Delhi Police also plans to collect denture marks of Mr. Bharti's dog 'Don', as part of evidence of the attack.
