Mumbai: Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman, the lone terrorist caught alive during the November 26 terror attacks here, was today further remanded in police custody till January 6 by a court here.

Due to security concerns, Ajmal was not produced before a regular court, and Metropolitan magistrate N N Shri Mangale and public prosecutor Eknath Dhumal went to the police lock-up, where the terrorist is being kept.

His extension of police remand was granted in connection with the case registered in the Marine Drive police station for hijacking a Skoda car at gunpoint after abandoning a police jeep.
