New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS) A court here Friday asked the Special Cell of Delhi Police to appear before it to furnish details on a plea of Lashkar-e-Taiba bomb expert Abdul Karim Tunda.
The court was hearing Tunda’s petition seeking court’s direction to the police to furnish details of the remaining pending cases against him.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Amit Bansal fixed the matter for Jan 21.
According to the police, Tunda is involved in more than 20 bomb blast cases that occurred in the country between 1994 and 1998.
