Anti-terrorism court Judge Sakhi Muhammad Kahut on Monday remanded Hamad Amin Sadiq, a Lashker-e-Taiba activist described by Pakistani authorities as the "main operator" behind the Mumbai incident, to the custody of the FIA for 15 days.
There was no official word on the status and whereabouts of five other suspects, who the interior ministry chief Rehman Malik had said were in the custody of authorities.
Though Malik had not named these suspects during a news conference last week, sources told PTI they included senior LeT operatives Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah, who have reportedly been named in the Indian dossier submitted to Islamabad.
Sadiq was remanded to the FIA's custody by Judge Kahut during proceedings held in a makeshift court set up in the high-security Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.
Sadiq was brought to the prison in an armoured vehicle and his face was covered with a mask. The media was not allowed to photograph him.
