A National Investigating Agency team today questioned the arrested Somalian and a Hyderabad youth, who were caught while trying to sneak into Nepal, in connection with last week's blasts in the Andhra Pradesh capital.
On a request of NIA team, the district police made a plea in a court for police remand of the two, which was accepted and the duo were brought to Raxual police station where NIA team questioned them in connection with twin Hyderbabad blasts, East Champaran Superintendent of Police Ganesh Kumar said.
The Somalian and the Hyderabadi youth, who were sent to judicial custody for a fortnight by court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) Mahesh Prasad yesterday, would be sent back to Motihari jail tomorrow from the police station, the SP said.
The SP said the NIA wanted to be satisfied about the identity of the duo and hence they were taken into police custody and made available to the sleuths.
Kumar, however, said he was not aware of the outcome of questioning by the NIA.
The East Champaran district SP, on the basis of questioning by themselves, has already dismissed any link of the duo with the twin blasts in Hyderabad.
