India has secured consular access to Sabeel Ahmed, one of the accused in the botched London and Glasgow car bomb cases, and who has been charged with having information that could have prevented an act of terrorism.
According to sources, an official of the Indian high commission met Ahmed for an hour Monday and sought whether he needed any assistance.
Ahmed told the official that his solicitor would get in touch with him.
Sabeel, a doctor from Bangalore, was arrested from Liverpool on June 30 in connection with the failed terror plots.
He was charged under the UK Terrorism Act 2000 for having information which he "knew or believed may be of material assistance in preventing the commission by another of an act of terrorism".
His brother Kafeel Ahmed, who is battling major burn injuries, was identified by the police as the driver of the explosive-laden jeep that was rammed into the Glasgow airport on June 30.
