New Delhi, Feb 25 A Delhi court on Wednesday sent a couple accused of hurling racial slurs at their Northeastern neighbours to 14 days of judicial custody.
The couple was produced before Magistrate Bhanu Pratap Singh on Wednesday, who later remanded them in judicial custody till March 11.
On Wednesday, the Delhi Police arrested the married couple, Ruby Jain and Harsh, for allegedly hurling racial slurs at three of her neighbours from the Northeast in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar area.
