The two accused who were arrested for firing at All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi's convoy on February 3 were sent to 14-day judicial custody.

The police will also move an application seeking their police custody. Notably, Owaisi was fired upon on Thursday evening when he was leaving Meerut's Kithoudh area for Delhi after campaigning for the upcoming Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, following which the Home Ministry has provided him with the Z security of CRPF with immediate effect after reviewing his security, according to the sources. Speaking on the matter, SP Hapur Deepak Bhukar told ANI over the phone, "Some recovery has to be made from the accused, for which it is necessary to take them into custody."
