On Monday, a local Court in Gorakhpur allowed 5 more days of police remand of Murtaza Abbasi, who was arrested for attacking cops at Gorakhnath Temple on April 3.
Murtaza Abbasi will now remain in custody till April 16. ATS said the remand has been extended to verify claims of Murtaza’s father Munir regarding the ragging & humiliation of his son at IIT-Bombay, & his chain of financial transactions.
Abbasi, whose week-long remand ended on Monday, was presented before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM). UP Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) & Shahpur police had urged the Court to extend his remand.
Senior Lawyer PK Dubey said that “ATS & Shahpur police jointly appealed to court to extend the police remand of Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi saying his custody is required for probe. The ACJM court extended the remand for five more days, till April 16".
After presenting Abbasi in Court, ATS took him to police lines & later returned to Lucknow with him after collecting a copy of the Court order.
ATS teams also visited Abbasi’s residence in the presence of his uncle Dr Khaled Abbasi & collected some other documents.
Sources in ATS also said that the accused is likely to be taken to some other districts for physical verification of evidence.
Psychological test reports of Abbasi are awaited, while the forensic department is yet to give details of his laptop & mobile phone.
An ATS official said that “Some data has been retrieved from the phone & laptop but we are tracking other exhibits".
ATS is also mulling sending a team to Mumbai for verification of statements about his life in IIT Bombay & his job period in Jamnagar. ATS teams on Monday visited Siddharthanagar and Maharajganj too.
