Madhav and Pranil are lodged in Tihar jail till 14 October along with Shivank Gambhir and Rythm Girhotra, two other friends of Sarna.

Two security guards — Surender Bali, 40, and Naresh Mishra, 60, — who thrashed Sarna Sep 13 at the South Park Apartments in Kalkaji area in south Delhi are also lodged in Tihar Jail till 14 October.

Police said the party lasted till midnight after which Sarna was thrashed by the guards for creating a ruckus in the complex. Around 2 am, Sarna was found bleeding in the apartment complex.
