Main terror suspect of Indian Mujahideen's Jodhpur module Mohammad Sakib Ansari was today remanded in 10 days' custody of Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
Sakib was produced before the additional Chief judicial magistrate's court here by the Rajasthan ATS, which had taken his custody from Delhi Police (Special Cell) and brought to Jodhpur on transit remand for further investigation.
Sakib was arrested in Jodhpur in a joint operation of Delhi and Jodhpur police on March 23. It was followed by the arrest of four more IM module members from Jodhpur.
Sakib was taken in custody by Delhi Police for interrogation, whereas four others -- Barqat Ali, Mohammad Adil, Jawed and Iqbal -- remained in Jodhpur.
All of them are currently under judicial custody whereas Sakib was also remanded to judicial custody by a Delhi court.
"Since, the investigation part of Delhi Police was complete, we wanted him for our part of investigation," said an ATS official.
"We would now interrogate him during this 10 days' period of transit remand and would try to extract more information from him regarding the module in the state, besides verification of other relevant spots," the official said.
