Mumbai Court Seeks Prosecution Reply in Terror Module Case
Two men in Mumbai, Rizwan Momin and Irfan Shaikh, are in trouble because they are accused of helping another man named Zakir Husain Shaikh, who is suspected of being part of a terror group supported by Pakistan.
The two men say they didn't do anything wrong and that there's not enough proof to show they were involved in any terror activities.
The court has asked the people accusing them to explain their case by December 10.
Zakir is still in jail, but the other two are out on bail.
Two Mumbai residents, Rizwan Momin and Irfan Shaikh, seek discharge in a Pakistan-supported terror module case.
They are accused of sheltering Zakir Husain Shaikh, who has alleged links with fugitive gangster Chhota Shakeel.
The prosecution claims Zakir was in touch with his brother in Pakistan, suggesting a potential terror plot.
The defense argues the evidence is too weak to sustain terror charges.
The court has asked the prosecution to submit a reply by December 10.
