Hyderabad: Just a day before the Independence Day celebrations, six terror suspects, including three Bangladeshis, a Myanmar national and two residents of Cyberabad, were arrested by the city police on Thursday. The city police, however, ruled out the possibility of attacks by the arrested persons on the Independence Day.
According to the Detective Department Police, the six suspects, Mohammed Nasir (52), Bangladeshi national and resident of Pakistan, Faizal Mohamoud (24), Bangladeshi, Joynal Abedin (30), Bangladeshi, 18-year-old Myanmar national Zia-ur-Rehman and Mohammed Masood Ali Khan from Chanchalguda and Sohail Parvez Khan from Balapur, were detained on Wednesday on a tip-off.
The police got the tip-off that some persons were planning to leave India with the help fake passports acquired through fake identification cards. Mohammed Nasir, a Bangladeshi by birth, had fled to Pakistan when he was seven years old and had been staying there illegally. He had strong connection with Abdul Jabbar, leader of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami, an Islamic fundamentalist organisation, which has active cellls in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India since 1990.
Nasir, who is adept in “managing the police” to secure passports to the illegal migrants with the help of fake voter identity cards and fake Aadhaar cards, had helped over 15 persons to flee from India, including Waqas Ahmed, Dilsukhnagar twin blasts accused, who were responsible for the death of 17 persons.
During interrogation, Nasir confessed entering India through Bangladesh border as a refugee and had been staying illegally. He admitted to have arrived in Hyderabad ahead of Dilsukhnagar blasts to manipulate the process to acquire passports by using fake identification cards.
Nasir confessed to having sheltered Waqas Ahmed alias Zia ur Rahman @ Nabeel Ahmed before Dilsukhangar blasts, following the orders of Jabbar. When Nasir came to Hyderabad illegally in 2010, he befriended Sohail Parvez Khan, a teacher at Balapur and Masod Ali Khan, a xerox centre owner at Chanchalguda.
Nasir, arranged shelter to Bangladeshis and Myanmar nationals in Masood Khan’s house and secure fake identifications to them that help in getting Indian passports with Masood Khan’s address. The police said that Masood Khan had also played a crucial role along with Nasir in getting passports to the illegal immigrants using fake documents. Police quoted Masood as saying that he had provided passports for job aspirants from Bangladesh and Myanmar to travel to Arab countries.
“But, we suspect their motive,” said Detective Department Joint Commissioner T Prabhakar Rao. Answering a query on why Nasir’s wife Ambiya, an illegal immigrant working as a nurse in a Unani hospital, was not arrested, Additional Commissioner Swati Lakra said “After all, she is a woman.
However we did not find anything suspicious in connection with the woman. If we find her role incriminating, she will be arrested.” The special investigation team ACP D Hari Kumar would investigate the case registered against the accused.
