PESHAWAR: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday sent six alleged accused including a woman on physical and judicial remands.

The men and woman were arrested on May 24, 2013 from Peshawar’s Chamkini area during a raid and are accused of running a Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) backed terrorist network.

Presenting the alleged accused before the ATC judge, the police requested for physical remand. The men were sent on a five-day physical remand while the woman has been sent on a 14-day judicial remand.

The accused include the alleged female terrorist Munfajara, her four sons Roohullah, Asadullah, Irfanullah and Kashti Gul and a male relative Ashfaq Hussain.

During the raid, hand grenades, suicides vests and explosives were recovered from their possession.
