Kolkata, September 1 (IANS) One of the two Pakistani terrorists arrested from near the Bangladesh border this month made his confessional statements Thursday in a district court amid tight security arrangements.

The duo, identified as Mohammed Zubair and Mohammed Sohail of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad, were remanded to a day's jail custody Wednesday after their production before the sub-divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM), Basirhat court, Pallab Roychowdhury.

Zubair's statement was recorded in the chamber of Judge Rajesh Guha Roy in the Basirhat sub-divisional court in North 24 Parganas district Thursday, while Sohail would depose on Friday.

The two were arrested from Hingalgunge in the district adjoining Kolkata on Aug 14, on the eve of the Independence Day celebrations.

The SDJM Wednesday ordered one-day judicial remand for the two, produced in court after a 14-day police custody, so that they could think for a day before making their confessional statements.

A team of the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Mumbai Police is in Kolkata to interrogate the two to find if they were linked to July 11 serial blasts in Mumbai.

Mumbai Police needs court permission for their transit remand and production warrant but the court would give the nod on the warrant's execution after the confessions are over.
