Those arrested Wednesday were Sandeep Dhillon (union’s patron), Rammehar Singh (president), Sohan Singh (vice president), Sarvjeet Singh (general secretary), Suresh Kumar, Ajmer Singh, Pawan Kumar, Ram Bilas, Amarjeet and Pradeep Kumar.
Police presented the 10 accused before Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate Yachna Kaur Nagpal and sought their remand for 14 days.
But the court allowed only seven days of custody to police.
The two other leaders held earlier are Yogesh Yadav and Dhanraj Bhambi. They are in judicial custody.
The accused said police could torture them and demanded video recording of their questioning during police remand. Their plea would be heard by court Saturday.
