New Delhi: Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal and close aide Asadullah Akhtar were today remanded in police custody till December 10 by a Delhi court in connection with the September 2010 Jama Masjid terror attack case days before the Commonwealth Games held here.  


Yasin and Akhtar were produced before Additional Sessions Judge Daya Prakash after expiry of their police custody in connection with a separate case and the Special Cell of Delhi Police sought their custodial interrogation for 15 days for unearthing the entire conspiracy leading to the September 19, 2010 Jama Masjid attack.

The police told the court that on September 19, 2010, two bikers had fired upon tourists descending from at the gate of Jama Masjid in Old Delhi and two Taiwanis, Ku-Ze-Wei and Ko-chiange, had sustained bullet injuries.  

The special cell told the court that during interrogation, Yasin had disclosed that he had arranged the logistics for Akhtar, Waqas, who is still absconding, and other IM members who carried out the attack near the prominent mosque here.
