Kochi, May 18 (IANS): People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader Abdul Nasir Maudany, whom the Supreme Court on Friday allowed to travel to Kerala for five days to see his ailing mother, arrived here on Monday afternoon from Bengaluru.

Maudany is a prime accused in the 2008 Bengaluru serial bomb blasts. He was arrested by Karnataka Police in 2010. He secured conditional bail last year from the Supreme Court but is not allowed to travel outside Bengaluru city limits.

On Friday, the Supreme Court allowed Maudany to visit his mother in Kerala for five days. His mother, living in Kollam, is suffering from cancer.

Poonthura Siraj, a senior PDP leader and a close relative of Maudany, told IANS that Maudany will first visit his parents and at night will arrive at his headquarters, which is also near his parents' home. He will return to Bengaluru on Friday from Thiruvananthapuram.

In 2013, Maudany was allowed to attend his daughter's marriage.
