German Bakery blast accused and co-founder of the banned terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, Yasin Bhatkal, will be lodged at Thane jail for security reasons. Currently, Yasin is an inmate at the Yerawada Central Prison in Pune.

Yasin was produced at the Shivajinagar District and Sessions Court on Friday morning after his first police custody of 14 days ended. Heavy police security cover was seen in and around the court premises. In the courtroom too, Yasin was surrounded by more than 5 policemen to ‘protect’ him. Police had kept Yasin in the toilet block to avoid rush before and after the remand hearing.
