NEW DELHI: A special court today sent Bahadur Ali alias ‘Saifullah’, a Pakistani national allegedly working for terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, to NIA custody till August 17 after the agency said it needed to decode the writings in a diary recovered from him.
According to court sources, Ali was produced before District Judge Amar Nath after expiry of his NIA remand and during an in-camera proceeding the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that the writings required to be decoded to unearth the larger conspiracy.
The court allowed the NIA’s plea to quiz Ali and also handed over the diary, which was earlier sealed, to the probe agency.
The sources said that the agency told the court that the diary was needed to be decoded as it would help in unearthing plans made by 21-year-old Ali and his associates. (AGENCIES)
