Farooq was extradited from Dubai and arrested by the CBI from IGI Airport, Delhi, on March 8 after 25 years. Officers said he was questioned about his role and that of the other accused, who are yet to be arrested.
In court
Farooq was produced before TADA court judge G A Sanap yesterday. Special Public Prosecutor Deepak Salvi told the court that Farooq was not cooperating with the agency, and hence, they needed his custody longer. Defence advocate Farhana Shah said everything was on record, the probe had been done and the CBI had nothing new to investigate. The court has remanded Farooq in police custody till March 28.
