NEW DELHI, Feb. 25 -- A Delhi court on Tuesday remanded Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Uday Bhanu Chib to four days in police custody in connection with the 'shirtless protest' at AI Impact Summit last week, observing that investigation prima facie indicated the accused's role in monitoring the offence. The order was passed by Judicial Magistrate Ravi of Patiala House Court. The court said that the disclosure of the co-accused and the details of the arrest memo, prima facie indicated that the accused operated from behind the scenes by giving directions and monitoring the protest. The court said that at the present stage, such incriminating material could not be discarded merely on the ground that the accused was not physically present at the place of occurrence. The order emphasised, "The law recognises that conspiracy and abetment can be hatched and executed from a distance and that the absence of physical presence does not, by itself, exonerate a person from criminal liability". The court also dismissed the argument put forth by the defence counsel, claiming that recovery of T-shirts used in the protest was trivial. It said that the alleged T-shirts bore specific slogans and formed an integral part of the alleged plan of protest. The court acknowledged that the mobile phone data of the accused persons was essential to unearth the larger conspiracy. Meanwhile police said that offences under BNS sections 191 (1) (rioting) and 192 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) have also been added during the investigation....
