Mumbai, June 01: The bail plea of Abdul Samad, whose arrest in connection with the German bakery blast created a controversy, was rejected by a court and his custody was not sought again by ATS which apparently failed to produce any evidence linking him with the attack.
Rejecting the bail plea, Magistrate M V Morale sent 23-year-old Samad, who was produced before him, to judicial custody till June 14 after he read the remand application of Maharashtra’s Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS).
The judge rejected the bail plea stating that the offences under the Arms Act for which Samad has been booked is serious. According to the magistrate, the investigation in the arms case is still in progress and hence releasing him would not be safe.
