Pakistan ultras remanded in judicial custody till Nov 24

Mysore, Nov 10 (UNI) First Additional Civil Judge and Chief Judicial Magistrate G S Sangarshi today rejected the plea of the Mysore police and their Jammu and Kashmir counterparts, seeking police custody of the two arrested Pakistani terrorists, and remanded them in judicial custody till November 24.

The judge rejected the police custody based on a 1992 Supreme Court ruling when the police produced the ultras before the court at the end of their judicial custody today. However, the judge permitted the militants, Mohammad Fahad and Mohammad Ali Hussain, to be subjected to narco analysis test at the Forensic Science Laboratory in Bangalore from November 13.

The court also rejected the application of the Jammu and Kashmir police, seeking the custody of Hussain, citing section 267 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The police appealed that Hussain operated in the name of Khasim in J and K and was involved in the killing of 19 people, including three police personnel, and as many as 12 cases had been filed against him at Harwan police station limits in Srinagar.
