Chief Inspector of Police Nagoor Thambi Aboobucker who was arrested for aiding and abetting Pulastini Mahendran alias Sarah Jasmin, one of the main suspects in the Easter Sunday Attack, to flee the country, has been granted bail by the Batticaloa High Court.
IP Aboobucker was arrested on July 13, 2020 under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) for concealing the information about Pulastini and escorting her in his vehicle to flee India. After nine months in detention, he was produced in front of Kalmunai Magistrate and subsequently further remanded.
