LUCKNOW: The Maharashtra Police obtained transit remand of a Lashkar-e-Taiba militant arrested in connection with the CRPF camp attack case, to investigate into his possible links with the November 26 Mumbai attacks.

Special Judge (Gangster Act) Mohammad Hussain granted the transit remand of Sabahuddin on an application moved by a Maharashtra ATS team.

On December 12, the Maharashtra Police had taken another terrorist Fahim Ansari on transit remand from Bareilly jail. He was also an accused in the CRPF attack case.

Sabahuddin was arrested in Lucknow on February 11, 2007 for his alleged involvement in the attack on CRPF camp in Rampur and masterminding the December 28, 2005 attack on Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

The Mumbai Police, sources said, wanted Sabauddin's remand as he had named one Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi as one who trained him at an LeT camp.

Rehman's name was also mentioned by Mohammad Amir Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested in the Mumbai attac case.
