The remand follows a Supreme Court order canceling their anticipatory bail, with two weeks granted for surrender.

  • A judge ordered 14 days of judicial custody, and the pair were transferred to Nellore district jail.
  • Police say the May 24 attack was a targeted assault in which an SUV rammed the victims’ motorcycle and the assailants then used stones.

  • Authorities deployed heavy security near the court, while the YSR Congress Party alleged political vendetta and reported preventive curbs on its leaders.
