The question of whether four policemen who had allegedly tortured 27-year-old IT engineer Khwaja Yunus in January 2003,  should be arraigned as additional accused will be decided after two months. The Bombay High Court deferred the matter after hearing arguments from senior advocate Mihir Desai, appearing on behalf of Yunus’s mother Asiya Begum, and Maharashtra’s Advocate General (AG) Birendra Saraf.

Yunus was arrested for the December 2002 Ghatkopar Bomb Blast case in which two people were killed. While he was said to have ‘disappeared’’ while being taken by the police to Aurangabad on January 6, 2003, his co-accused were all either discharged or acquitted.
