A court in Delhi on Monday sent six accused in the case involving the death of a 20-year-old woman, who had got trapped in the underside of a car and killed, to 14 days' judicial custody.
"14 days judicial custody granted," Metropolitan Magistrate Sanya Dalal said.
The prosecution said it was found during their custodial interrogation that the accused were aware of the victim's body being dragged under the wheels.
The additional public prosecutor, however, did not disclose the identity of the two accused who got down from the car to inspect what was under the wheels.
