Granting Naved’s 14 days remand to the NIA, judge Y P Kotwal directed the investigating agency to get him medically examined at government hospital after every 48 hours. He fixed the next date in the case as August 24. Though state police had already handed over custody of the arrested terrorist to NIA, seeking his remand from special court was a pre-requisite for it to begin custodial interrogation.

Earlier, the state police had obtained remand of Naved from a local court in Chenani and he was kept at joint interrogation centre for his custodial interrogation by different agencies. During his custody with the police, the NIA had taken him to Valley and also the place of terror attack in Udhampur district to check veracity of his disclosures.

Sources said that during questioning by multi agencies, he has made many disclosures regarding his training at camps across the border, his infiltration route from the LoC, as also the places where he visited and stayed in the state, apart from his local handlers.
