HC blast accused seeks nod to fill up exam form
A Jammu and Kashmir native who is an accused in the Delhi high court blast case, on Monday sought permission from a city court to visit Bangladesh, where he was studying before his arrest by NIA, to fill in an examination form.
During the in-camera proceeding, sources said Wasim Akram Malik, who was studying unani medicine in Bangladesh, told district judge H.S. Sharma that he has to appear in an examination in Bangladesh for which he needed to fill up the form.
The designated NIA judge asked Malik to fill up the form from Tihar jail with the help of his relatives, sources said.
Malik and another suspected terrorist Amir Abbas Dev were produced before the judge on expiry of their judicial custody which was extended till December 19 after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said its probe is still going on.
Malik is an alleged “key link” in the conspiracy behind the blast outside gate number 5 of the high court on September 7 that left 15 people dead and over 70 injured.
The court had earlier dismissed NIA’s plea for his polygraph test after he had expressed unwillingness to undergo the test.
Amir, a native of Jammu and Kashmir, has been accused of sending terror e-mails to media groups after the blast.
