Utsav Sharma sent to judicial custody till Feb 8

New Delhi, Jan 26 (ANI): Utsav Sharma, who had attacked Aarushi's father Rajesh Talwar inside the Ghaziabad court premises, was on Wednesday remanded to judicial custody till February 8.

Sharma, who was produced before Judge Preeti Singh this morning, attacked Talwar with a cleaver causing deep cuts on his face as he came out of the court here on Tuesday after filing a petition before Singh challenging the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)'s closure report in the Aarushi murder case and demanding a fresh probe.

Sharma's mother, Indira Sharma, a professor of psychiatry in Banaras Hindu University (BHU), claimed her son is mentally ill and is on medication.
