A Delhi Court on Thursday remanded suspended BJP MP Babubhai Katara to 10 days police custody in a human trafficking case.

Both the accused were produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kamini Lau, who accepted the Delhi Police application that their custodial interrogation was necessary.
The 16-year-old juvenile Amarjeet, who was arrested with them, has been sent to remand home, police informed the court.
Katara's counsel Ajit Chopra objected to Delhi Police seeking his 10 days remand contending that his role was minimal in the case.
