New Delhi/UNI: A Delhi court on Monday extended the police custody for two more days of Aslam and Ansar, who are the prime accused in the violence that erupted in Jahangirpuri area of Delhi during Hanuman Jayanti.

The Rohini court also sent four other accused to judicial custody for 14 days, they are among the 23 so far nabbed by the police in Saturday's violence.

The Delhi Police submitted before the court that Ansar and Aslam were aware of the Shobha Yatra on April 15 and then allegedly hatched a conspiracy.
