Court Denies Bail to Alleged IM Member Sadique Shaikh
Imagine a man named Sadique Shaikh was accused of being part of a group that planned bombings.
He asked to be let out of jail, but the judge said no.
The judge thought Shaikh was dangerous because of the things he did and the things found with him.
The police said he sent emails before bombs went off in several cities.
Although Shaikh said he was innocent and that the group he was in wasn't banned at the time, the judge decided to keep him in jail.
He was already in jail for another bombing, and the judge thought his actions were very serious.
A Mumbai court denied bail to Sadique Shaikh, an alleged Indian Mujahideen member.
The court cited Shaikh's dangerous mentality and activities as reasons for the denial.
Shaikh was arrested for sending emails before 2008 bomb blasts in multiple cities.
The court noted provocative literature and weapons were found in Shaikh's possession.
Shaikh argued he was falsely implicated and that the IM was not banned when he was a member.
