They were produced before a magistrate on Wednesday and sent to judicial custody for one day.

A tailor, Kanhaiya Lal, was hacked to death here on June 28 by two persons to avenge an "insult to Islam" after he shared a post on social media supporting Ms. Sharma.

So far, the National Investigation Agency has arrested seven people in connection with the murder.
