Suspected Al Qaeda operative Abdur Rehman was produced in the Salepur Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Court on Monday.
He was produced in the court amid tight security after being brought from the Tihar Special Jail in New Delhi. He was produced before the court on the basis of an appeal made by the Special Task Force of Odisha Crime Branch.
The court directed the STF to lodge Rehman at Choudwar Jail in Cuttack till May 17.
The court order came in the wake of a petition filed by the lawyer of the suspected terrorist.
Notably, Rehman was arrested in a joint raid by the special cell of Delhi police and the twin city Commissionerate police on December 15, 2015. He was accused of illegally running a Madrasa on the outskirts of Cuttack and radicalising youths for terror activities.
