Claim of HuJi link after I-Day swoop

Among the arrested persons was 53-year-old Mohammed Nasir, a Pakistani, accused of helping Zia-ur-Rahman alias Waqas, member of Indian Mujahideen module responsible for the twin blasts in Dilsukhnagar here in 2013, flee the country.

The police could not achieve a breakthrough as Nasir, who was born in Bangladesh and shifted to Pakistan as a six-year-old, kept moving from house to house.

A special task force police team of South Zone Central Crime Station, a wing of Hyderabad police has arrested four people who were suspected to be having links with the Harkat-ul-Jihadi Al-Islami (HUJI) has been arrested on Friday.

Police officials tell OneIndia that the Pakistani national, Mohammad Nazir is being probed for close ties with the HuJI.

Police said. “We are still verifying about their intentions of illegal stay in city”. 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.

According to the police, Nasir, while in Pakistan, came in contact with his distant relative Abdul Jabbar, a staunch leader of HuJI.

“When NIA officials arrested Waqas, he disclosed that it was one Nasir who helped him cross to Bangladesh”. Nasir received illegal immigrants said to be from Bangladesh and Myanmar and provided them with shelter at the residence of Masood.

“Indoctrinated by Jabbar, Nasir came to India five years ago by illegally crossing the border to carry out plans of the former”, Mr. Rao said. The police also seized Indian passports, one Bangladeshi, used by the accused to travel overseas.

Reacting to another query, Rao said right now Nasir is a trafficker and was arranging Indian passports for foreign nationals, for the goal of employment.

Interestingly, both Nasir and his wife have worked at a Unani hospital at Jalpally, posing as Indians.
