JAMSHEDPUR: A Gujarat Police Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim’s aide Abdul Majeed Kutty from the Mango area here on Saturday, police said on Sunday.
Police said Kutty, who is in his early 50s, was involved in a case related to explosives sent by Dawood at the behest of a Pakistani agency to carry out bomb blasts in Gujarat and Maharashtra during the Republic Day celebrations in 1997.
SSP M Tamil Vanan said the ATS has taken Kutty to Gujarat after making a proper station diary entry here and has produced him at a court in the western state. “Since no case was pending against Kutty in Jharkhand, there was no need of his production before a Jharkhand court before completion of 24 hours of his arrest,” Vanan said.
