Gujarat ATS was on Saturday ordered by a court here to produce one of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack handlers Abu Jundal before it on November 26. Special Judge I. S. Mehta issued a production warrant against Jundal for his appearance in court after jail authorities said he continued to be in the custody of Gujarat ATS, court sources said.

Gujarat ATS had earlier taken the custody of Jundal for questioning to probe his alleged role in the 2006 Karnavati Express train blast at Ahmedabad station. Jundal was in judicial custody till Saturday in connection with a case registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) relating to an alleged LeT conspiracy to conduct terror strikes across the country.
