**HYDERABAD:** Renowned choreographer Jani Master has been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days by the Upparpally court in a sexual harassment case filed by a dancer.

Jani Master faces serious charges under IPC Sections 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 323(2), along with the POCSO Act.
