New Delhi, Feb 2: Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist captured in the Mumbai terror attacks, has been remanded in police custody till February 13, PTI reported.
Kasab was last remanded in police custody on January 19, for his involvement in the shootout at the Cama and the Albless Hospital in South Mumbai.
Kasab has been in police custody since his arrest on the night of November 26 and has been booked in 12 cases by the Mumbai police.
Kasab and another terrorist Ismail Khan attacked the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on November 26, killing 58 persons and injuring over 100.
There were some reports earlier, which security sources suspect to have been planted by Pakistani official agencies, according to which Islamabad alleged that captured Mumbai terrorist Kasab was actually dead.
India, they said, had not provided any DNA samples of Kasab or the other nine terrorists, leading to the conclusion that India actually made him up.
The Maharashtra government, however, rejected Pakistan’s claim, with additional chief secretary Chitkala Zutshi saying, "Kasab is very much alive and in custody of Mumbai Police."
Police commissioner Hasan Gafoor told TOI: "Kasab is safe and sound with us."
