A suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorist today alleged before a Delhi court that he was getting threat inside Tihar jail here.
Chief metropolitan magistrate Kaveri Baweja, taking the application of Salman alias Chotu into consideration, sought a
response from Tihar jail authorities on April 12 on the
alleged threat.
Salman, who claims himself to be a minor, was arrested on March six by Anti-Terrorism Squad of Uttar Pradesh Police from Siddarth Nagar for his alleged role in the serial blasts of the national capital on September 13, 2008.
The accused, who was produced before the court at the expiry of his judicial custody, filed a hand-written application alleging received extortion threat inside the prison from a gang which earned notoriety in attacking fellow inmates with blades.
He sought the court's direction to jail officials to ensure his safety.
The court had earlier issued notices to two school principals for appearance before it April 12 on Salman's plea to be treated as juvenile.
Their statements are likely to help the court to dispose of the application of Salman and determine his age.
Salman, in the application, had alleged he was juvenile at the time of serial blasts in the national capital that had
claimed 26 lives and left over 135 other injured in September,
2008.
He had produced a class X marksheet issued by the Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Board stating his date of birth as
October three, 1992.
The police, however, had claimed there were contradictory reports with regard to his date of birth as the passport obtained by him on forged documents from Nepal showed it to be May 27, 1985.
The AIIMS, which was directed to constitute a medical board, had opined that his age was between 25 and 26.
The court, meanwhile, sent Salman to judicial custody till April 12.
