A small-time transporter, who slapped Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar days after assaulting former Telecom Minister Sukhram, was sent today to Tihar Jail by a Delhi court.

Metropolitan Magistrate Jasjeet Kaur remanded 27-year-old Harvinder Singh in judicial custody till December 9 after Delhi Police produced him in the court amidst tight security.

He has been charged with assaulting Pawar, a public servant, and threatening him yesterday, besides trying to kill himself by slashing his wrist with his small \'kirpan\'.

Activists of NCP, led by 71-year-old Pawar, shouted slogans and blocked traffic outside Patiala House court premises and even tried to assault the accused later.

Singh was remanded in judicial custody after police pleaded that he has become "a threat to the society" and should not be released.

Singh showed no remorse and shouted slogans like "Bhagat Singh Zindabad, Rajguru Zindabad" in the courtroom. He also said he would want to repeat what he did.
