NIA gets 10-day custody of Udaipur murder accused

Riyaz and Ghouse were arrested the same day. Two others accused in the case — Asif Hussain and Mohsin Khan — were arrested subsequently.

The four were produced before a Jaipur court on Saturday afternoon — of them, Riyaz and Ghouse were brought with their faces covered. The CBI court number 1, which deals with NIA cases, sent them to 10-day NIA custody.

With the NIA taking over the probe, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Rajasthan Police has handed over all documents related to the case to the central agency.

Outside the court complex, police had a tough time dealing with lawyers and local residents, who shouted slogans against the accused, including seeking their death sentence. As police personnel tried to put the accused back into the police van, they had to jostle with the large crowd, some of whom also allegedly managed to attack the accused.
