The court, while sending the two accused to police custody, said the offences they were accused of having committed were "serious", and the other the co-accused were yet to be arrested.
In its remand application, Delhi Police had sought the court's permission to quiz the arrested accused in custody to take forward the investigation and to recover the weapon used to kill Chauhan, an aspiring model who was very active on social media. Acting swiftly, the city police had arrested the two on Monday.
