The Delhi High Court has denied the bail to an alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) member—Fasih Mahmood, who was deported from Saudi Arabia in 2012, in a case of establishing an alleged illegal arms factory in India, reports The Tribune on April 29. Considering the gravity of an offence and serious allegations against Fasih, there was no room to grant bail to him, noted Justice S.P. Garg. “Since the bail has already been declined on merits and there is no substantial change in the circumstances presented, this court finds no valid reasons to grant bail to the Fasih Mahmood, allegedly being member of an unlawful organisation i.e. IM, in India charged for commission of offences punishable under Section 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UA(P)A] 1967. Hence, the bail application is dismissed, read the court order. Mahmood was deported from Saudi Arabia and was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport on October 22, 2012. He was detained in Saudi Arabia in May 2012. Mahmood was an accused of being involved in the 2010 blast in Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy stadium and Jama Masjid shootout case, along with several other suspected operatives of IM.
