HYDERABAD, Nov 12: A nationalist leader Allah Dino alias Asif Baladi in his statement under section 164 CrPC before the judicial magistrate here on Monday denied his alleged connections with RAW and involvement in bomb explosions over the last several years.

A team of Latifabad police brought him to civil courts for getting his confessional statement recorded under section 164 Cr.PC in the light of his interrogation in the last couple of days. He had been in police remand ever since his arrest.

Today he was produced before the civil judge and judicial magistrate-VII Mr.Niaz Soomro.

Baladi denied whatever charges were levelled against him by the police so far with regard to bomb explosions in Karachi and Hyderabad.

Baladi told the judge that he was arrested on June 26, 2006 in Karachi by the police and he was handed over to some intelligence agency.

He said that he was then allowed to board a Karachi-bound flight and when he arrived there he was arrested by Latifabad police.

Baladi had gone missing on June 26 last year and his family had claimed that he had been picked-up by intelligence agency. Several protests were held in Sindh for release of Baladi and other missing persons. Latifabad police claimed to have arrested him on November 6 at Jinnah International Airport Karachi while he was returning from Quetta through a private airliner.
