Twenty-nine years after the 1993 Bombay blasts, a special CBI court on Monday sent four members of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim to judicial custody till June 13.
Abu Bakar, Yusuf Batla, Shoeb Baba and Sayyed Qureshi were arrested by the Gujarat Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) on May 17. They were taken into the CBI's custody on May 21 and the agency on Monday sought an extension of its custody. Special judge R.R. Bhosale, however, rejected the plea.
All four are accused of smuggling and transporting RDX and other explosives used in the blasts, and to transport AK-56 rifles, bomb triggers and other weapons. They are all from Mumbai, but on their passports their addresses are shown as Mira Road (Thane) for one, two from Bengaluru, and one from Tamil Nadu.
