BSP MLA Shekhar Tiwari, arrested in connection with the brutal murder of an Uttar Pradesh PWD engineer, was on Thursday remanded in judicial custody for 14 days by a court here.
The order remanding 48-year-old Tiwari in judicial custody was passed by Chief Judicial Magistrate Samarpal Singh. The MLA will be lodged in Etawah jail.
Tight security arrangements were made in the court premises in the wake of violent protests against the killing of PDP engineer M K Gupta who was allegedly beaten to death by Tiwari and his associates after he turned down their demand for a huge sum for birthday celebration of Chief Minister Mayawati, a charge denied by the state government.
