Police remand for Rahirkar

The Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act (MCOCA) court on Tuesday remanded Ajay Rahirkar to police custody till December 20 in connection with the Malegaon blasts of September 29.

The 10 other accused, including Sudhakar Dwivedi alias Dayanand Pandey, were given judicial custody till December 29, said public prosecutor Rohini Salian.

The Anti-Terrorism Squad contended that it wanted to investigate the financial angle where Rahirkar allegedly played a key role as the treasurer of the Pune-based Abhinav Bharat organisation. The prosecution submitted statements of witnesses, who claimed that Rahirkar had collected Rs. 10 lakh from them.

Then, at the behest of another suspect Lieutenant-Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit, he allegedly disbursed this amount among other suspects to procure arms and ammunition.
