The court has extended his police remand by two days.The police said they had to recover the explosives and weapons from his possession.    Police also claimed that the investigation found that Bittu used to lure the youth by giving them money that was transacted into his bank accounts from foreign countries and used to distract them.      The defence lawyer Jagmohan Singh Warraich refuted the allegations of prosecution.
