Delhi: Abdul Karim Tunda, the Bomb Expert of terror organization Lashkar e Taiba, was assaulted and slapped by some activists in the Delhi court today, despite tight security surrounding him. He has been in Custody of Delhi Police ever since his arrest last Friday.
According to Media Reports, Tunda was hit on his back and stomach by alleged ‘Hindu Sena’ activists whose attempt to slap him was thwarted by the escorting police personnel who later formed a human chain to guard him.
Later Abdul Karim Tunda was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Jay Thareja who extended his custodial interrogation for four days till August 24.
The Delhi Police had sought Tunda’s custody for 10 days for taking him to three different places outside the national Capital for probing his links with various terror outfits.
The police said Tunda was declared a proclaimed offender in a case of recovery of explosive substances lodged in 1994 at south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar police station under the provisions of stringent anti-terror law TADA.
Immediately after he was produced in the court, Tunda said he did not have money to hire a lawyer but some advocates volunteered to represent him and advocate M S Khan who had the ‘vakalatnama’ (power of attorney) was allowed to appear for him.
During the proceedings, which were held in-camera, after a lawyer interrupted it, Tunda told the court that he was “innocent” as he had not motivated anyone to kill women and children by exploding bombs.
