Srinagar (Jammu Kashmir): National Investigation Agency (NIA) court on Friday extended the police remand of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra by nine days.
Special Judge NIA Jammu, Sunit Gupta, after perusal of the application moved by the NIA, extended the police remand by nine days.
PDP has termed the allegations and the leader’s arrest as political vendetta.
Parra was arrested last month by the agency for having allegedly close links with Irfan Shafi Mir, who was arrested along with Hizbul Mujahideen militant, Naveed Babu and suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police Davinder Singh earlier this year.
In July, NIA, filed a charge sheet against former J&K Deputy SP Davinder Singh and 5 others under several IPC sections including Arms Act, according to a press release issued by MHA. The other charge-sheeted are Hizbul terrorist Syed Naveed Mushtaq, his brother Syed Irfan Ahmad, Hizbul terrorist Rafi Ahmad Rather, advocate Irfan Shafi Mir and ex-LoC trader Tanveer Ahmad Wani.
All of them are still in NIA custody in Jammu.
