Advani pipe bomb case: 2 accused seek bail

Two accused in the case relating to planting of a pipe bomb allegedly targeting BJP leader L K Advani during his "Jan Chetna Yatra" in 2011, today moved the Madras High Court bench here for bail.
A Judicial Magistrate court had remanded Syed Sahabuddin and Darvish Moideen, who were booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Explosives Substances Act, to custody last month.
Syed Sahabbudhin alleged he had been falsely implicated in the case.
Darvish Mohideen, who had served seven years in prison in a bomb planting case till 2007, alleged police had previously subjected him to illegal custody. He had moved the court against that and hence to wreak vengeance police had falsely implicated him the case,he alleged.

Darvish Mohideen is the brother of 'Police' Fakrudeen, a key accused absconding and wanted in the pipe bomb case.
They prayed that they should also be granted bail as other accused had secured the relief.
The bomb was detected and defused before Advani's cavalcade crossed a bridge at Aalam Patti in Madurai district on October 28, 2011.
Police have registered cases against 10 persons in connection with the incident, of whom seven have been nabbed.
