LUCKNOW: The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) court in Lucknow granted seven-day police custody remand of Murtaza Abbasi under the provisions of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in connection with his alleged links with middle-East based terror outfits. Abbasi was arrested shortly after he attacked policemen at the gates Gorakshnath Temple and tried to storm in carrying a sharp-edged weapon on April 13.
Sources said the ATS had sought police custody of Murtaza to question him in connection with the leads that the investigators had gathered from central agencies and collate the data that forensic experts have recovered from the electronic devices seized from his possession.
