Vikas Sachdeva, who has been accused of molestation by a minor actor, was on Wednesday sent to judicial custody till December 22. The Sahar police now want to record the statement of the actor who had alleged that she was molested on UK-981 Delhi-Mumbai Air Vistara flight on Saturday.

The Sahar police demanded in the court via prosecutor Munna Inamdar to increase Sachdeva's police custody saying they wanted to record statements of other passengers present inside the flight.

Advocate HS Anand, defence counsel, argued that the custody of the accused was not required to record statements of other passengers as they are not known to the accused.

"We have filed the bail application in the court which will be brought up for hearing on December 15. Moreover, the statement of the cabin crew corroborates that of Sachdeva that he was sleeping throughout the journey and never intended to molest the girl. 

The police have applied wrong sections and have done injustice by arresting Sachdeva without giving the notice to keep his say and join the investigations," said Anand.

Special judge AD Deo observed that the accused was not required to be in police custody and sent Sachdeva to judicial custody. The court will hear the bail plea on December 15.
