The special Anti-Terrorism Squad court presided over by judge V S Padalkar on Saturday, extended the ATS custody of the three men arrested for allegedly hatching a conspiracy to carry out blasts in the city, till August 28. The court while extending their custody held that the objective of the accused to commit an offence is a matter of investigation and if a chance is not given to the ATS even after the recovery of ammunition, then it would amount to a greater crime.

The agency had initially arrested Vaibhav Raut. It later arrested Sharad Kalaskar, a resident of Panvel and Sudhanva Gondhalekar a resident of Pune. 

The agency said that it relied on memorandum statements, recovery of fire arms while pleading for an extension of police custody for the arrested. The ATS also relied on the CCTV footage of an area in Pune where they found footages of all three accused. The agency also claimed that it needs to look at past records of the accused along with their widespread network. “Also they want to check if these arms and ammunition have been used in other crimes in past,” the remand copy read.

The remand application further read that the ATS has recovered two vehicle plates from Kalaskar which it doubts was used in crimes in the past . The ATS also claims to have recovered some chits which are drafted in a code language.

As per the remand application, cops have recovered 10 desi pistols, one Katta, one metal air pistol, 10 pistol barrels and other incriminating material in the case.
