The Crime Branch of Delhi Police had moved a remand application seeking his custody to unearth a 'larger conspiracy'.

Imam is one of the prime accused in the case, who allegedly provoked the mob to pelt stones on a procession taken out in the area on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti on April 16.

The police said that he will be interrogated to find out if he had backing of some organisation or political party.
