Union minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey's son Arijit Shashwat was arrested on Sunday over his alleged involvement in recent communal clashes in Bhagalpur, and sent to 14-day judicial custody, the police said.
The arrest came barely a few hours after a Bhagalpur court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Shashwat against whom an arrest warrant was issued on March 24. "We had information that Shashwat was at a Hanuman temple in the vicinity of Patna junction. A police team reached the spot and arrested him," senior SP, Patna, Manu Maharaj said.
The police produced Shashwat at the residence of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate A R Upadhyay, who sent him to 14 days judicial custody.
