Maha: Court rejects terror accused's plea to attend mother's last rites

Mumbai, May 14 (UNI) A special court has rejected a plea of an accused in the Aurangabad arms haul case seeking temporary bail to him to attend his mother’s final rites while observing that one has to be ‘equally emotional for the motherland', according to the copy of the order which was made available on Wednesday.
Mustafa Mehmoodiya, who is facing a separate trial before a court in Mumbai, has languished in jail since 2007. His case was separated after he first turned approver against other accused and then went hostile.
In a plea before the special court, Mehmoodiya sought temporary bail stating that his mother passed away in Ahilyanagar and he wants to attend the post-death rituals as they hold religious and emotional significance as a son.
