Five serial blasts suspects sent to police custody for 12 days
New Delhi, Oct 16 (PTI) Five suspected terrorists,
accused of carrying out serial blasts in Delhi, were on
Thursday remanded to 12 days' fresh police custody by a Delhi
Court.
"Investigating agency is required to collect evidence and
find out truth of different dimension in the matter. Fair
investigation is the mandate of law. Keeping in view the
dynamics of the case and factual matrix, police custody remand
is absolutely necessary," Chief Metropolitan Magistrate
Sanjeev Jain said.
The Court sent accused Mohammed Saif, Zeeshan Ahmad,
Mohammed Shakeel, Zia-ur-Rehman and Saquib Nissar to police
custody till October 27.
Earlier, Additional Public Prosecutor Rajiv Mohan sought
the police custody of the five accused in a case related to
blast registered with Connaught Place police station.
He submitted that the accused were formally arrested in
the case related to the blasts carried out in Delhi on
September 13.
He said their custody was required to investigate whether
the blast at Connaught Place was part of a larger conspiracy
or whether it was a different terror plan.
The counsel of the accused, on the other hand, opposed
the police remand plea, saying that the accused had already
faced custodial interrogation for last 26 days.
He also cited a Supreme Court judgement to submit that
police cannot seek custodial interrogation for more than 15
days.
The September 13 serial blasts -- which rocked
Connaught Place, Gaffar Market in Karol Bagh and N-block
market in Greater Kailash -- left 25 people dead and several
others injured.
Saif was arrested following an encounter in Jamia Nagar
in south Delhi on September 19 while Zeeshan was arrested on
the same evening from Jhandewalan area in Central Delhi where
he had gone to give an interview to a private TV channel.
The other three accused -- Shakeel, Zia-ur-Rehman and
Saquib -- were arrested from Shaheen Bagh here on September
20.
All the accused have been booked under various provisions
of the Indian Panel Code (I.P.C.), Explosive Substances Act
and Unlawful Activities
(Prevention) Act.
