The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has taken custody of Mohammad Qateel Siddiqui from the Delhi police for suspected involvement in a foiled bid to trigger an improvised explosive device (IED) at the city’s Dagadusheth Halwai temple on February 13, 2010. The ATS produced Qateel before a court yesterday and sought custody for 14 days, but was allowed to keep the suspect for only eight days.

The bid on the temple was made on the same day as the powerful blast at the German Bakery in Koregaon Park which killed 17 people and injured over 60.
