NEW DELHI: Mohd Saif and Zeeshan, suspected aides of militants involved in the serial balsts here, were on Saturday remanded to 14 days' police custody by a Delhi court.
"Considering the abhorrent and fiendish acts that rattled Delhi last Saturday and investigating agency was also bereaved of an officer and to unearth the conspiracy, both the accused are remanded to 14-day police custody," Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Kanwaljit Arora said.
While seeking police custody of Saif and Zeeshan, the Special Cell of Delhi Police said their further custodial interrogation was necessary as they had revealed "there are 10 other persons involved in the blasts and are absconding".
Assistant Commissioner of Police ACP Sanjeeev Yadav, who is the investigating officer in the case, told the court that preliminary investigations have revealed that "they (Saif and Zeeshan) are (suspected) to be involved in the Gaffar Market blast last Saturday".
Both Saif, in early 20s and Zeeshan (25), were muffled when produced before the ACMM.
Saif, son of a local politician from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, was arrested immediately after yesterday's encounter in Jamia Nagar in south Delhi in which the two militants were killed.
Two others suspected militants had managed to escape from the scene. Zeeshan was taken into custody from the studio at Jhandewalan last night.
The serial blasts for which Indian Mujaheedin had claimed responsibility had claimed 24 lives in the Capital.
