A court here extended the police remand of Ranjit Kohli alias Raqibul Hasan, an accused in the ‘Love Jihad’ by three days on Monday.
A team of National Investigating Agency (NIA) is also in the Jharkhand capital amid reports that Hasan’s foreign connections have been unearthed by the investigating team. NIA may also seek his custody, reports added.
Yesterday, police seized 36 SIM cards and 15 mobile phones, two CPUs, four printers, two air shooting guns and documents related to court from Raqibul’s house.
Raqibul is under arrest after national level shooter Tara Shahdeo alleged that he married her pretending to be a Hindu and later forced her to later embrace Islam.
Police sources said Kohli appeared to be close to many senior judicial and police officials.
The sources said he was even using mobile phones allotted in the name of judicial officials of Bihar.
Mustaq Ahmad, a registrar with the Jharkhand High Court, was suspended Thursday.
