Udupi : Anand, accused in the case of the gang rape of a medical student of Manipal University, was produced before the Chief Magisterial Court here on July 5, Friday amid tight security,  as his police custody period has ended.

The court has now remanded him to judicial custody till July 15 and has also directed that  he be shifted to Shimoga prison for security reasons. It may be recalled here that another accused Hariprasad has already been lodged in the Shimoga jail as there is a fear that the accused who are facing public wrath or their heinous act, may be attacked.

Anand who was today remanded to judicial custody, had  attempted suicide prior to his arrest. After his discharge from hospital, he was taken to police custody.

In the meantime, the main accused Yogish who had tried to end life by consuming poison is still  undergoing treatment in hospital.
