NEW DELHI – The Gujarat ATS on Sunday arrested Tahreek Frog-e-Islam chief Maulana Qamar Gani Usmani in connection with the murder of Gujarat man Kishan Bharwad who was shot dead in Dhandhuka city by bike borne assailants.
The arrest was made from the national capital. Gani was produced before a local court which sent him on transit remand. Gani will also be produced before concerned court in Gujarat. The ATS is likely to seek ten days remand for interrogation.
Kishan was murdered on January 25 and six people have been arrested in this case so far.
