Mangalore, March 1: Shabeer, suspected in terror links was brought to city  by Ullal police on Sunday, March 1, following a body warrant issued by the local court. The court gave the order so the investigating team could further interrogate him on the terrorist links.
 
The Ullal police produced him at the judge’s residence in Bondel, as it was a holiday for the courts. First Class  Judicial Magistrate 3rd Judge Bringesh, ordered the police to produce him on Monday  before the  court. He remanded him to judicial custody for a day.

Shabeer, was lodged in Yerawada jail in Pune, after he was arrested  by the  Anti Terror Squad(ATS). He is  resident of Bhatkal. The ATS had arrested him on terror links relating to the serial blasts that took place in  major cities of the country.
 
Police sources said that, Shabeer has had links with Riyaz Bhatkal, who is believed to have played a major role in striking terror in various parts of India. It is also learnt that Riyaz often visited Ullal, when Shabeer was a religious  teacher in Ullal area.
 
It may be recalled that in October, 2008, the district police  arrested two persons in Ullal, alleged to have links with terror networks. The police  said  that the arrested persons gave them crucial leads that confirmed  the involvement of  Shabeer and Riyaz Bhatkal.
 
Ullal  Sub-inspector Shivaprakash said, “the  Judicial magistrate granted a body warrant to Ullal Police  following a request last week. We will interrogate him and investigate the matter further.” he said.
