City youth & Kashmir friend in carnage net
Calcutta, Dec. 6: The Mumbai carnage has thrown up a Calcutta link, with the first two Indians arrested being a Beniapukur youth and a Kashmiri shawl seller who turned auto driver here before returning home three years ago.
A city police team nabbed Tausif Rehman, 21, apparently outside Howrah station yesterday while another flew to Delhi to lay a trap for his friend Mukhtar Ahmed, 37 (see graphic).
Mumbai police had told the Calcutta special task force (STF) they had found a SIM card bought from the Bengal capital tucked into a pouch attached to a belt worn by slain terrorist Abu Ismail.
It was one of 22 pre-activated cards that transport worker Tausif bought from shops in Beniapukur, Park Circus and Phears Lane and handed over to Mukhtar when he came here in October, officers said.
They said Mukhtar, who was flown to Calcutta last night, could be a Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami conduit with links to the Lashkar-e-Toiba. A Mumbai police team arrived tonight to question the duo, remanded till December 19.
Tausif, resident of Ostagar Lane, bought 12 SIMs against the voter ID card of his deceased uncle Ashraf Numan, said STF officer Rajeev Kumar. “Tausif confessed to buying 10 more SIMs without showing any identity proof.”
When the STF found that Numan was dead they began monitoring call details of Tausif and his younger brother, a kitchen worker at a five-star hotel, who turned out to be clean. Questioned about the calls from a Srinagar number in September-October, Tausif confessed how Mukhtar put him up to the job, an officer said. Tausif’s family cast doubt on the date of arrest, saying he had been missing since Tuesday.
Two officers had left for Srinagar on Wednesday after tracing Mukhtar’s number from call statements, but he wasn’t home. “From Mukhtar’s call records, we traced a man who had made several calls to him,” an officer said. “He told us Mukhtar had left for Delhi. We asked him to call Mukhtar, tell him he was coming to Delhi and ask for his address so they could meet.”
At his Delhi hotel, Mukhtar claimed he was a J&K police constable, an officer said. “He screamed, ‘How can you do this to me, I too am a policeman’.”
The duo have been booked not for terror but for cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy. “Our probe focused on the SIMs,” an officer said. “Tausif said he was only looking to make a quick buck.”
The above is from today's "The Telegraph"
I had said earlier that we should not have carnage like the one in Mumbai in Kolkata as our Marxist government allow the terrorists a free passage without any hindrance through Bengal. The terrorists would not like the doors to be shut in their faces, which would be the case if they created a problem in Kolkata. So you lick my arse and I lick your arse.
The above article gives one more proof.
But what is the government doing to catch the people who sold the SIM cards to the fictitious persons?
The telecom companies are just interested in increasing their connection numbers without caring to know their customers and thus endangering the nation's security. They should be charged with abetting terrorism.
Why shouldn't exemplary punishment be meted out to them as well as to those who sold the SIM cards.
Since the SIM cards were found on terrorists, both Tausif and Mukhtar should be charged with abetting terrorism and murder and very stringent action should be taken against them so that nobody in future will dare deal in SIM cards in fictitious names.
Life imprisonment is not enough since it will only make other terrorists demand their release at a later date.
They should all be hanged after all information is extracted from them
