Palanpur, Gujarat: BJP youth wing leader Jayesh Darji, arrested for allegedly throwing a stone at the vehicle of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi in flood-hit Banaskantha district, was today sent to judicial custody by a magisterial court.
Dhanera judicial magistrate, first class, V S Thakor, sent Darji to jail, rejecting police's prayer for his four-day remand, additional public prosecutor Prakash Joshi said.
The judge also rejected the bail application of the accused, Mr Joshi said.
The opposition party members also claimed three more people were involved in the conspiracy to attack the Congress leader's vehicle. They have been identified as Bhagwandas Patel, Mor Singh Rao and Mukesh Thakkar.
The police had yesterday arrested Darji, an office-bearer of the BJP's youth wing in Banaskantha, after his name cropped up during investigation, an official said.
He had to cut short his address to a gathering in the Lal Chowk area of Dhanera after black flags were shown to him by some of those who turned up for the meeting.
Mr Darji and three others have been booked under IPC sections relating to voluntarily causing hurt to deter a public servant from discharging his duty, causing hurt by act endangering life, and mischief causing damage to property".
