Police, who probed the case initially, claimed that Kolhe was killed for sharing a post supporting suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma s controversial remarks about Prophet Mohammad in some WhatsApp groups.
A special court here on Thursday remanded seven persons arrested in connection with the killing of an Amravati-based pharmacist who had supported Nupur Sharma in the custody of the National Investigation Agency till July 15.
The accused arrested in connection with the killing of Amravati pharmacist Umesh Kolhe were involved in terrorist activities, the NIA on Thursday told a court here.
The NIA took custody of all the accused, who were granted four days' transit remand on Monday after they were produced before the Amravati court, he said.
