Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel's police custody was today extended by two more days till November 3 by an Ahmedabad court in an alleged case of sedition and waging war against the government.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate C G Mehta passed the order on an application of the city Crime Branch seeking seven days of further remand.

Hardik was produced before the court by the Crime Branch after his seven-day remand expired today and sought further remand on various grounds.

Public prosecutor Vanrajsinh Jebalia, representing the Crime Branch, stated in the remand application that Hardik, convener of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti, is "not cooperating" in the investigation.
