Mumbai: A court here today remanded the three persons who were arrested in connection with firing by bodyguards of Dera Sachha Sauda's chief to police custody till July 2.

A group of Sikhs had raised anti-Dera slogans inside the Nirmal Lifestyles mall in suburban Mulund during a visit by the Dera head Ram Rahim Singh to the place last evening, which led to an altercation between his supporters and the Sikh group, that later turned violent.

One person was killed and two others injured in the firing. The accused, namely Jaidev Singh, Satnam Aroda and Rajguru Taneja, are suspected to have opened fire, and have been charged with murder as well as offences under Arms Act.

All of them belong to Ram Rahim Singh's staff. Sikhs have been enraged at Singh after he was seen at a public function dressed as Sikh Guru Gobind Singh in Haryana's Sirsa where a religious commune started by him is located.
