Suspected Hizbul militant Liyaqat Shah has been granted bail by the special NIA court in a case of alleged conspiracy to carry out terror attacks in Delhi on Holi this year. Suspected Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist, Liyaqat Shah, who was arrested in Gorakhpur is seen in New Delhi. HT/ Sunil Saxena Shad had approached the court on Monday and sought bail claiming that no concrete evidence had been found against him during the probe. Forty five-year-old Shah was arrested by the special cell of Delhi Police on March 20, 2013. He moved the bail application during an in-chamber hearing before district judge IS Mehta who posted it for hearing on May 15, sources said. Shah was produced before the court after expiry of his judicial custody and the court extended it till May 18. He was sent to judicial custody on May 1 after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had said that he was not required for further custodial interrogation. On April 26, the court had allowed the NIA's plea and remanded Shah in NIA's custody for five days. The home ministry had on March 28 issued a notification facilitating NIA to take over the case after his arrest had generated conflicting versions from Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir police. The Delhi Police had alleged that with Shah's arrest they had foiled a 'fidayeen' (suicide) attack in the national capital ahead of Holi, the J-K Police insisted that he was one of those who had filtrated in 1990s and returned to India to surrender under the state's rehabilitation policy. Earlier, the special cell of Delhi Police had said that they had arrested Shah, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, from Indo-Nepal border area near Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh and a huge consignment of grenades and explosives were recovered from a guest house near Jama Masjid on his tip off. He and his associate Manzoor were directed by top ranks of Hizbul to carry out terror attacks in Delhi, the sleuths had said. via Top Stories - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHjLJp56fLR1deZOSDQul0_rBmVPw&url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Suspected-Hizbul-militant-Liyaqat-Shah-granted-bail/Article1-1061467.aspx
