Mumbai police today submitted a corrigendum before the MCOCA court stating that the demand made in the remand application to verify links between Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba was an error on their part, a senior crime branch officer said.
“We have submitted the corrigendum before the holiday court of special MCOCA today. We have requested court to remove the particular line that mentions about the links between IM and LeT in the remand application. The court has also accepted to remove the line,” the officer said.
The Mumbai Crime Branch yesterday had informed the special MCOCA court here that it wants to verify if the 20 alleged IM members had any links with LeT.
In a remand application filed before the court, Crime Branch officer Ashok Duraphe had said the terrorists, who were killed in the 26/11 terror attack, had told a news channel that they were also “from Mujahideen” and “demanded to set free IM operatives arrested in connection with the Delhi, Ahmedabad and Surat blasts.”
Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria, however, had denied any such verification stating that the point was “erroneously mentioned in the remand application.”
