Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerjee told the apex court bench headed by justice P Sathasivam that Saudi authorities have informed the CBI on June 26 that he was under their detention.

The court directed the government to file a report on the status of Fasih within three weeks. Fasih's wife Nikhat Parveen had filed an application seeking to know the whereabouts of her husband.

Fasih, 35, who hails from a village in Darbhanga district of Bihar, was reportedly arrested in Saudi Arabia May 14 for suspected terror links in India.
