Delhi Police Crime Branch will produce the Jamia area firing accused before the Juvenile Justice Board later today.
The accused, on Friday, said he has no remorse for what he did and was radicalised by viewing videos on social media, claims Delhi Police.
Police sources also said that the accused had procured the country-made pistol from his village and left for Delhi in a bus to take revenge for the death of Chandan Gupta. Gupta was killed in Kasganj violence on January 26.
The accused brandished a gun despite heavy police force deployment and fired at the marching students on Thursday.
Delhi police sources said that the accused has denied having any connection or links with any organisation.
Before the incident, Delhi Police said sufficient police arrangements had been made for the march for which there was 'no permission'.
