MANGALORE: The Bihar police were granted transit warrant of Aysha Banu and her husband Zubair on Wednesday. JMFC III court judge gave the warrant that will enable the police to take the couple to Bihar for interrogation over suspected money transactions involving the Indian Mujahideen.

The couple was picked up by Mangalore City and Bihar police on Tuesday from their house in Panjimogaru. There is no clear indication when the Bihar police will take the accused to their state since the woman constable, required as escort for Aysha, has not yet reached Mangalore.

Lakhisarai superintendent of police Rajeev Mishra told TOI that two women constables have left for Mangalore and will escort the couple to Bihar. “I cannot reveal when they will reach Mangalore and depart due to security reasons,” he said.

Lakhisarai sub inspector Raj Kishore, who was with the accused in court, said Aysha was booked under IPC Sections 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 460 (house trespass or house-breaking by night punishable in case of death or grievous hurt caused), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (passing off a forged document as genuine) and 120b (criminal conspiracy). They have also been charged under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act sections 17, 18, 18b, 21 and 40, and section 38 which deals with offence relating to membership of a terrorist organization. He said they have information about seven accounts and transactions worth Rs 6 crore in a year.

Kishore also said four people who were arrested over the serial blasts at the BJP’s Hunkar rally at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, had said that they had transferred funds into a nationalized bank account held by Aysha. “From her account, funds were transferred to suspicious people. Some accounts have been closed and we are also looking into it,” he said revealing that seven passbooks were found at the couple’s house.
