Suspected al-Qaeda terrorist Abdur Rehman, arrested from here by the Delhi police and subsequently booked by Odisha police, was on Wednesday produced before the Cuttack District and Sessions Court for the purpose of framing of charges against him.
But District Judge SN Mishra fixed July 24 next to frame charges against Rehman, who was booked under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act by the State police after detecting several bank accounts operated by him and receiving money from overseas sources.
Rehman, who was running an illegal Madrasa here, requested for judicial intervention to provide him religious scriptures of
his choice.
He also informed the District Judge that he is ailing and needs medical attention.
Responding to Rehman’s pleas, the court assured him that the jail authorities would be asked look into his grievances as per the jail manual prevailing in the State. Rehman is currently lodged in the Choudwar jail here.
