Ex-BSP MP’s son surrenders

NEW DELHI, Oct 18: Ashish Pandey, a former BSP MP’s son who is accused of brandishing a pistol in the foyer of a five-star hotel here, surrendered before a Delhi court today and was remanded to one-day police custody.
Ashish, who has been dodging the arrest despite joint efforts by Delhi and Uttar Pradesh police, appeared in the Patiala House Courts here and moved a plea before Metropolitan Magistrate Neetu Sharma seeking to surrender.
While the accused alleged frame-up and “media trial” in his plea, the police sought Ashish’s four-day custodial interrogation on various grounds including that it needed to quiz him to unravel the truth and he has to be taken to Lucknow for effecting recovery of weapon he brandished.
The court considered rival submissions and allowed the Delhi police to quiz Ashish, the son of former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) lawmaker Rakesh Pandey, in custody for one day. (PTI)
