STORYLINE:
An Indian man accused of planning a shooting attack on an American government cultural centre in Calcutta has faced a brief hearing in a New Delhi court on Saturday.
Farhan Malik - also known as Aftab Ansari was arrested in the Gulf emirate of Dubai and extradited to India on Saturday.
Ansari is a suspected organised crime leader based in Dubai.
He is alleged to be the ringleader in the January 22 attack, in which gunmen on motorcycles killed five policemen at the centre.
Indian officials claimed Islamic militants and Pakistan's spy agency were also behind the attack.
They suggested that Ansari ran a cell of gunmen in the eastern state of Bihar in conjunction with two Islamic militant groups based in Pakistan.
These are part of nearly a dozen Pakistan-based groups waging a 12-year insurgency against India's rule over part of the Kashmir region, which is divided up with Pakistan.
Pakistan, India's neighbour and rival, has denied involvement.
