Salepur July 1: On Thursday, the Special Task Force was ordered by the Salepur Judicial Magistrate First Class Court (JMFC), to take supposedly accused Al Queda terrorist Abdur Rehman on a fresh seven-day remand for interrogating more.
The STF made Rehman stand in court a day previous to the completion of the first day remand and appealed to the court for a fresh ten-day remand. Unfortunately the court gave allowance only for a seven-day remand. At the first phase of the remand period, Rehman had agree of having links to various terror operatives and had also given shelter to a Pakistani accused involved in the Kandahar Plane Hijack case of 1999 in Cuttack.
The 37-year old operative, who was running a Madrassa at Tangi near Cuttack, was arrested by a joint team of Delhi and Odisha Police Special Cell from Paschimkachcha village in Cuttack district on December 16, 2015 for his alleged involvement with the Al Queda terrorist organization in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The Madrassa has since been closed and the students, most of them from neighboring Jharkhand, sent back to their homes.
