Red alert: 4 Huji suspects arrested in Hyderabad

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. Talking to mediapersons, Joint Commissioner of Police (JCP), T Prabahkar Rao said that the suspected HuJI militant Mohammad Nazir, a Pakistani national, had close ties with the banned outfit while the relation of others with HuJI is yet to be ascertained.

“In a joint operation, the police team arrested the Pakistani national who is having terror links with HuJI”.

During interrogation, Nasir confessed entering India through Bangladesh border as a refugee and had been staying illegally.

Waqas, an alleged operative of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), was later arrested by the National Investigation Agency. While the local agents were as Mohammed Masood Ali Khan and Sohail Parvez Khan.

Police said that HuJI leader Jabbar had directed Nasir to receive Dilsukhnagar blast accused Zia-ul-Rehman (alias Waqas) at Malda in West Bengal and help him cross over to Bangladesh in early 2014.

“Jabbar indoctrinated Nasir with terrorist ideology and sent him to India for furtherance of unlawful activities”. Nasir received illegal immigrants said to be from Bangladesh and Myanmar and provided them with shelter at the residence of Masood.

Surprisingly, the illegal immigrants managed to obtain passports, voter ID card and Aadhaar card using fake addresses.

In Hyderabad, Nasir met the other arrestees.

Reacting to another query, Rao said right now Nasir is a trafficker and was arranging Indian passports for foreign nationals, for the objective of employment. 15,000 to Rs. 50,000 from each Bangladeshi to arrange the passports so that they can land in Saudi Arabia claiming as Indians and work there.

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