Court denies bail to LeT operatives arrested from Mewat

Delhi Police is making efforts to nab Abdul Subhan, who was allegedly in touch with Pakistan- based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist Javed Baluchi, and two others in connection with a case of planning to carry out terror attacks here, a court here was today informed.
The Special Cell of Delhi Police said Subhan, a suspected LeT operative against whom non-bailable warrant was issued, was still absconding and during their investigation, names of two other suspect, Javed and Sabbir, have also surfaced.
The police told this to the court while seeking 15 days time to conclude its probe into the case in which suspected LeT operatives Mohd Rashid and Mohd Shahid were arrested from Haryana's Mewat region last December.

The judge dismissed the bail plea of both the accused while allowing the application of police seeking more time to conclude their probe against Rashid and Shahid.
With their arrest, police had claimed to have unearthed a terror module of LeT which was in an "advanced stage" of planning a major strike in Delhi.
"It is further stated that wanted accused Abdul Subhan is still absconding and NBW against him is being obtained. It is further stated that names of two persons Javed and Sabbir has surfaced in the investigation and they are absconding and are untraceable as of now and efforts are being made to locate and arrest them," the police said.

It also claimed that Rashid and Subhan were in touch with Baluchi through mobile number and their probe in this regard was going on.
During the hearing, advocate M S Khan, who appeared for both Rashid and Shahid, argued in the court that his clients should be given statutory bail as police has not given any new ground for extending the period of investigation.
"I have seen the application for grant of statutory bail as well as the file and find no ground to grant statutory bail to both the accused persons...," the judge said.
