Mumbai's Byculla area resident Tabish Siddiqui, apprehended by the NIA for suspected ISIS ties, threatened and abused a special judge in court on Thursday. The accused, who claimed to suffer from schizophrenia, allegedly said he had no respect for the government and the court, using offensive language. Despite being directed to receive legal aid, Siddiqui refused to sign the relevant document and continued his disruptive behavior.
Later, he was escorted out by prison guards. The special NIA court subsequently ruled against Siddiqui's physical presence in court following his actions. The court also dismissed his previous mental illness claim, stating the hospital report found him in normal mental health, labeling his alleged illness as a pretense to avoid trial.
