Mangalore, Nov 25: The court on Monday November 24, extended the judicial custody of four terror suspects held in the sub-jail. The court rejected the request for police custody on the basis of the Supreme Court (SC) judgement that the accused cannot be awarded to police custody after the lapse of 15 days.
The police are contemplating an appeal on this ruling. Terror suspects Mohammed Ali and Javed Ali both residents of Mukkaccheri, Noushad, resident of Subash Nagar, and Ahmed Bava, resident of Haleyangady, were arrested by city police on October 3. Mumbai police took them to metro to investigate their terror links and brought them back to the sub-jail here on Thursday November 20.
As the Dakshina Kannada (DK) District Crime Intelligence Bureau (DCIB) has not had the opportunity to investigate the suspects’ links in transporting the explosives, DCIB had approached the court requesting custody of the accused.
Hyderabad police are also trying get custody of these suspects as Ahmed Bava has been accused of helping Indian Mujahideen founder Riyaz Bhatkal in the bomb last at Lumbini Garden.
