Former deputy mayor of Belgaum city and nine
medical were detained for alleged links with outlawed Students Islamic Movement
of India (SIMI) and suspected militant Mohammed Asif who is in police custody.
Firoz Sanadi, the former deputy Mayor of Belgaum,
was detained for his alleged links with SIMI and was being interrogated, police
officials said.
The students of Karnataka Institute of Medical
Sciences, Hubli, were picked up on the basis of information provided by Asif
who is in police custody, they said.
Meanwhile, Riyazuddin Naser, another terror
suspect, was subjected to narco analysis test at the Bangalore Forensic Science
Laboratory on Friday.
The test was expected to be repeated on Naser
as he had not revealed much on his plans, sources said.
Asadullah Abubakkar, a close aide of Naser,
is also believed to have undergone narco test.
Naser and Abubakkar were arrested on charges
of two-wheeler theft in Davanagere district on January 5. But their incoherent
statements prompted the Magistrate to remand them in police custody for further
interrogation.
