Kochi, Dec 17 (Inditop.com) The Kerala High Court Thursday refused to grant anticipatory bail to Sufiya Maudany, wife of People’s Democratic Party chief Abdul Nazir Maudany, in a bus burning case of 2005.
Sufiya was named 10th accused in the case early this month. The first accused in the case is south India chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) T. Nazeer, who has been arrested.
Justice K.T. Sankaran denied Sufiya’s plea for anticipatory bail when the hearing for the case started at 11.30 a.m.
Director general of prosecution V.G. Govindan Nair said there are enough evidences to point out that Sufiya was closely involved in the case. Counsel for Sufiya denied the allegations.
A Tamil Nadu State Transport bus was burnt in Kalamasserry after reports that Maudany was ill-treated in Coimbatore jail, where he was an undertrial in 1998 Coimbatore bomb blast case.
He was, however, exonerated of the charges in 2007.
