New Delhi : Giving priority to four cases in Mumbai, a Delhi court Friday directed Maharastra Police to produce 26/11 mastermind Abu Jundal Humza in a Mumbai court on Saturday.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav directed the Maharastra Police to take Jundal to Mumbai and produced him in a court Saturday for granting his custody to two different probe agencies in the city.
The Mumbai police want Jundal’s custody for his alleged involvement in the 26/11 attack, the 2010 German Bakery blast and the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case.
The Mumbai police told the court that the accused was required to be confronted with other accused in the Aurangabad case. At present, arguments on framing charges are being heard in this case in a Maharashtra court.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) wants Jundal’s custody as the matter it is probing is prospective – averting another 26/11 strike.
This apart, the Gujarat Police has sought Jundal’s custody in connection with his role in recruiting youth from the state for training in terror camps and a blast at the Kalupur railway station in Ahmedabad in 2006 that left 25 people injured.
