E-mail threat suspect remanded to custody
The Meghalaya police on Friday produced before court Mominul Hoque, a third year student of Shillong Law College, who was arrested on Thursday night after he had allegedly confessed to having sent an e-mail warning suicide attack on senior BJP leader L.K. Advani. The court remanded him to 14 days in police custody. The student is a resident of the Laban locality of Shillong. The police also picked up seven others for questioning. The police said they were trying to ascertain if the student had any link with the Indian Mujahideen. Several newspapers of Meghalaya on Wednesday received an e-mail purportedly sent by the Indian Mujahideen, threatening to carry out a suicide attack on Mr. Advani during his visit to Shillong on September 29.
