Lalit Jha was brought before the judge concerned at the Patiala House Court, where he was also furnished with legal aid counsel, Advocate Umakant Kataria.

While seeking a 15-day custody of Jha, the Delhi Police informed the court, “He is the mastermind. We require his custody to unravel the entire conspiracy and the main motive behind the incident. We need to travel and take him to different cities and places. We need custody to recover the mobile devices also.” However, the court opted for a seven-day police remand.
