On the complaint of Sharma's father, the police registered an FIR against Hussain. PTIA Delhi court on Monday sent suspended AAP councillor Tahir Hussain to four-day police custody in connection with the alleged killing of Intelligence Bureau official Ankit Sharma during the recent communal violence in northeast Delhi. Chief metropolitan magistrate Pawan Singh Rajawat sent Hussain for interrogation after police sought his custody for five days. Hussain was booked for his alleged role in the murder of the IB staffer during the riots that shook the national capital last month. The suspended AAP councillor has rejected the charge.
