Delhi serial blasts: Court rejects suspect's plea seeking CDs

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday disallowed a plea of a suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorist and an accused in the September 13 serial blasts, seeking a copy of alleged electronic evidence in the case.
Metropolitan magistrate Manish Yaduvanshi refused to allow the plea of accused Zia-ur-Rehman seeking compact discs of images allegedly retrieved from seized mobile phones.
The court, however, said that the compact discs, containing the images, would be shown to the accused before framing of the charges against them in the cases registered in connection with the serial blasts last year.
M S Khan, counsel for accused Rehman, had filed the application in the court on February 4, seeking CDs of the images retrieved allegedly from the mobile phone of Atif Ameen, the prime accused, who was killed during the Batla House encounter on September 19 here.
Meanwhile, the court extended the judicial custody of five suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists and accused Zeeshan Ahmed, Rehman, Saquib Nissar, Mohd Shakeel and Mohd Hakim by 14 days.
It sent them to judicial custody till April 6.
