Court extends judicial custody of 3 alleged JeM members

A Delhi court today extended till October 18 the judicial custody of three suspected members of terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed, arrested for allegedly planning an attack in the national capital.

All the three accused were suspected to be members of a sleeper unit of the terror outfit, police alleged.
