Terror link case: Rajasthan woman sent to judicial custody

Jaipur: A local court here on Saturday sent Babita Dhakad alias Khadija to judicial custody after completion of police remand.

Khadija (38) was arrested last Sunday by the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) for allegedly having links to Jaish-e-Mohammad commanders.

On completion of her remand, she was produced before the court of the Additional Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate No 11, Jaipur, on Saturday.


The court sent her to jail and fixed June 29 as the next date of hearing.

According to the investigating agency, the accused had allegedly been in contact with the Pakistan-based terror outfit for nearly two years.

Khadija was under surveillance of military intelligence for the last few months in the Sitapura area of Jaipur, where she had been living in her parents' house. Following inputs about her, the ATS took her into custody and interrogated her.

Intelligence agencies also found several Pakistani contact numbers in her contact list. Two of the numbers are suspected to be linked to two notorious JeM terrorists, including JeM founder Maulana Masood Azhar's brother-in-law, wanted in two cases in India.
