Captured Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Naved Yakub was on Tuesday
Aug 11,2015 remanded in NIA custody for 14 days by a court here to enable the probe
agency to identify other culprits involved in the Udhampur terror attack
last week that left two BSF personnel dead.
Naved, a Lashkar-e-Taiba militant, was brought to Jammu amid tight
security on Monday evening Aug 10,2015 as security agencies feared that the LeT may
try to target him. He was produced before the NIA court early this
morning Tuesday
Aug 11,2015
Arguing in favour of his custody, NIA said many areas needed to be
investigated and for that the custody of the accused was necessary
NIA, which took over the case last week, has booked him under various
sections of Indian Penal Code including waging war against the nation as
well as Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Arms Act.
The investigating agency along with Jammu and Kashmir Police has been
questioning nearly 11 people who have been detained after Naved was
caught by the villagers on last Wednesday when he tried to take them
hostage.
A truck driver, who ferried him along with his accomplice Mohammed Noman
alias Momin to Udhampur, and a businessman who is alleged to have paid
Rs. five lakh to Naved and his handler, have been missing and a manhunt
has been launched to nab them.
His accomplice Noman was killed in retaliatory firing by BSF during the terror attack.
