As per advocate Rizvi, after Mandal boarded the flight, he got information from his source about a bomb.Why did the police not disclose immediately that he is an IB official, the lawyer asked, talking to reporters here.Raipur Senior Superintendent of Police Santosh Singh said on Tuesday that police informed the IB immediately after he was detained, and he was arrested only after a joint team of local police and IB interrogated him and found the input shared by him to be fake.”Hence, he was arrested as per the law,” Singh told PTI.Mandal’s act created panic, endangering the lives of passengers and crew members, he said.Advocate Rizvi, meanwhile, claimed that a person charged under the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against Safety of Civil Aviation Act can be tried only by a special court, and there is no such designated court in Chhattisgarh.His client will move the High Court which has inherent powers to hear such cases, and seek bail, the lawyer said.
