New Delhi, June 7 (IANS) Sunil Kumar, the man who threatened Congress leader Janardan Dwivedi with a shoe at a press briefing here Monday, was sent to 14 days' judicial custody by a magistrate, a police official said Tuesday.

 
 "Sunil has been booked under sections 107/51 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and presented before a special executive magistrate. He has been sent to 14 days' judicial custody in Tihar Jail," a police official told IANS.
