All the seven accused in the murder of a chemist in Maharashtra's Amravati have been taken into custody by the National Investigative Agency (NIA), the officials said today.
The accused, including the alleged mastermind Irfan Shaikh Rahim, were taken into custody by the NIA last evening after the police presented them before a local court.
They will now appear before an NIA court in Mumbai on or before July 8, officials added. Police are on the lookout for one more suspect Shamim Ahmed in connection with the case.
The chemist, Umesh Kolhe, was stabbed to death on June 21 in Amravati when he was on his way back home over a social media post in support of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on Prophet Mohammed have set off a huge controversy at home and abroad.
