The Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Junagadh district police did not seek extension of the 38-year-old cleric’s custody before the local court but opposed Azhari's bail plea, saying probe was still on.
Azhari was arrested from Mumbai on Sunday in connection with a separate hate speech case lodged at Junagadh on Saturday, and brought to Ahmedabad by a team of the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad. From Ahmedabad, he was taken to Junagadh.
