Public prosecutor Raja Thakre demanded police custody for Bhatkal, arguing the police still have to probe other crimes which the accused had allegedly committed when he absconded.
Thakre argued the police are yet to investigate the source of the RDX brought by Bhatkal, adding the police might get information about the other absconders from him.
Thakre said the police are yet to study the communication system in Indian Mujahideen.
Bhatkal was arrested from Indo-Nepal border on August 28 last year, after being on the run for almost eight years.
