Alleged IM explosives suppliers to spend two more days in police custody
The court extended the police custody of two persons, accused of supplying explosives to the IM terror outfit, by two days.
A special court on Tuesday extended the police custody of two persons, accused of supplying explosives to the Indian Mujahideen terror outfit, by two days.
The main accused in the explosives supply chain, Dr Syed Ismail Afaque, 34, a homeopathy doctor from the coastal Karnataka town of Bhatkal and his cousin Abdul Suboor, 24, an MBA student were again remanded to police custody by the court.
Dr Afaque and Suboor were arrested by the Bangalore Central Crime Branch police on January 8 on the basis of intelligence inputs. Dr Afaque has been identified as the main supplier of explosive material since 2010 to members of the Indian Mujahideen outfit for blasts in the country.

As many as 40 packets of ammonium nitrate gel weighing 125 grams each along with detonators, electronic timer devices, digital circuits, wires and PVC pipes, were seized by the Bangalore police on January 8 from Suboor’s house in Bhatkal.
Police had sought extension of their custody for identification of a third accused from Mangalore whom they had hired for delivering the consignment of explosives to a member of the Indian Mujahideen.
The Bangalore police have, meanwhile, also moved an application before a special NIA court in Hyderabad for the custody of three Indian Mujahideen men Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi, Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas and Yasin Bhatkal who have allegedly been the recipients of explosives sourced and supplied by Afaque on different occasions since 2010.
