The Delhi special police cell has arrested six men, including two allegedly trained by Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), with officials claiming that the intelligence agency was working with the brother of Dawood Ibrahim to plan attacks during the festival season in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Special CP (Special Cell) Neeraj Thakur said: “We have arrested Jaan Mohammed Sheikh (47), a resident of Maharashtra; Osama, alias Sami (22), resident in Jamia Nagar; Moolchand, alias Saaju (47), resident in Rae Bareli; Zeeshan Qamar (28), resident in Allahabad; Mohd Abu Bakar (23), resident in Bahraïc; and Mohd Amir Javed (31), resident of Lucknow “.
“Two of the accused, Osama and Zeeshan, received training this year in Pakistan and received instructions from the ISI. They were asked to conduct recent sites in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh to plant FDI,” he said.
Thakur said the arrested people were tasked with executing separate aspects of the alleged terrorist plan. “A Pakistan-based person hired Submarine Agent Sameer, a close contact of Dawood’s brother, Anees Ibrahim, who connected with lower-ranking agents hiding in Pakistan to ensure the delivery of FDI, sophisticated weapons and grenades to different places in India, ”he said. .
A few weeks ago, a team led by inspectors Sunil Rajain and Ravinder Joshi received input from intelligence agencies that a Pakistan-sponsored and planned group planned to run serial FDI explosions in India.
“The group had received multiple organized FDI from border sources and were in an advanced stage of preparation. On Tuesday, after gathering information about them, simultaneous raids were carried out in different states. Initially, Jan Mohd Sheikh, agent of the l In the underworld, he was captured from Kota on his way to Delhi, where Osama was arrested by Okhla, Mohd Abu Bakar by Sarai Kale Khan, Zeeshan by Allahabad, Mohd Amir Javed by Lucknow and Moolchand by Rae Bareli. UP was carried out after coordinating with UP ATS officers, ”Thakur said.
Thakur said the arrested men have revealed that they had received sophisticated FDI, grenades, pistols and RDX-based cartridges from a sleeping cell agent, and that these were sent to the UP to hide them safely.
“The underworld operative Jan Mohd Sheikh, along with Moolchand, was commissioned by Pakistan-based Anees Ibrahim to receive the same shipment to Delhi. We have verified that the agent of the ‘Underworld, which operated under Pak-ISI orders, to execute two things: the transportation of weapons and explosives and the financing of terror through the Hawala canals,’ he said.
Thakur said Osama left for Muscat on April 22 this year on a Salaam Air flight from Lucknow. “There he met Zeeshan to train in Pakistan. They were joined by between 15 and 16 men and spoke Bangla. We suspect they are probably from Bangladesh and split into subgroups where Zeeshan and Osama were formed into a group, ”he said.
Thakur said that over the next few days, after several short sea voyages and changing ships several times, they were taken to a city near the port of Gwadar, Pakistan. “There they were received by a Pakistani who took them to a farmhouse in Thatta. There were three Pakistani nationals in the farmhouse. Two of them trained them. Both were from the Pakistani army as they wore military uniforms. They were trained to make bombs and FDI and commit fires with the help of everyday items. They also received training on handling and using small arms and AK-47s, ”he said.
