Mumbai Police found itself in a piquant situation when it again sought the remand of Indian Mujahideen(IM) militants, who are suspects in serial blasts in the country, in connection with the 26/11 probe on terror strikes only to withdraw after admitting it was an error.

The Mumbai police retracted since it had previously made a remand application on December 15 last to investigate if the IM militants had any links with those behind the Mumbai terror attacks.

On January 2, this year, Mumbai Police moved a remand application but retracted the very next day by filing a corrigendum in the court withdrawing the plea.
