NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday extended the judicial custody of Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist Tariq Ahmed Dar and another accused arrested in connection with the Diwali-eve serial blasts in Delhi, to January 16. Dar and Rafiq Shah were produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Madhu Jain who extended their judicial remand by 14 days. The accused was sent to judicial custody on December 30 after the Special Cell informed the court that the investigation of the case was over and their police custody was no longer required.
Dar, an official with Johnson and Johnson Company, was accused of coordinating and financing the blasts which claimed 67 lives and injured over 200 persons. Police now claims to have proof that it was Rafiq who planted the explosive in a bus in Govindpuri. Initially, police was of the view that Rafiq was only instrumental in arranging funds for carrying out the blasts.
