The two were the main accused in the last week’s incident. Both of them were brought to Aligarh and produced before an Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate who sent them to judicial custody for 14 days, the police said. Earlier, three persons were arrested in the case. The case was registered after a video clip of the incident, which occurred outside the office of the Hindu Mahasabha in Naurangabad locality under Gandhi Park police station area, went viral. The Mahasabha had announced that it would observe Mahatma Gandhi’s death anniversary as ‘shauraya diwas’ (Day of Valour). SSP A Kulhary had told PTI that the FIR was lodged in this connection under sections 147, 148 and 149 of the IPC related to rioting, use of force or violence by an unlawful assembly.
