Haveri: The seven accused in the Hanagal gang rape case, who were recently granted bail, have been remanded back to judicial custody till June 2, police said on Sunday.

The accused were returning to Akkihalur from the sub-jail after securing bail when they filmed their celebratory rally, created a public nuisance, and circulated the footage on social media.



The act drew widespread public outrage and prompted swift police action, leading to their re-arrest.

Police said the behaviour of the accused amounted to a breach of public order and was seen as an affront to the gravity of the charges against them. They were produced before a local magistrate who remanded them in judicial custody until June 2.

Police said further action will be taken as per law, and additional charges may be invoked in connection with the rally.
