Hyderabad:
A special court Tuesday sent an accused in 2007 Mecca Masjid bomb
blast case, to the custody of the National Investigation Agency
(NIA) for 15 days.
The court dealing with NIA cases allowed the agency to take
custody of Rajender Choudhary alias Samundar for questioning him
in connection with May 18, 2007 terror attack, which killed nine
people and injured dozens of others.
Rajender, also an accused in Samjhauta blast and other terror
attacks, was brought to Hyderabad last week by the NIA on a on a
prisoner's transit (PT) warrant from Panchkula in Haryana. The
court on March 4 had sent him to judicial custody.
The NIA officials are hoping to get vital information from
Rajender, who had allegedly planted the bomb on the premises of
the mosque. He is also suspected to be involved in the killing of
Sunil Joshi, a key accused in the blast case who was gunned down
in December 2007 following differences with his associates.
Rajender is the sixth accused to be arrested by the NIA in the
case. Devender Gupta, Lokesh Sharma, Swamy Aseemanand, Bharat
Mohanlal Rateshwar alias Bharat Bhai and Tejaram were already
arrested. Two others, Sandeep V. Dange and Ramchandra Kalsangra
are absconding.
Most of them are also accused in 2007 Samjhauta Express bombing,
which had claimed 68 lives.
