A Lucknow court on Tuesday granted Mumbai police the transit remand of Sabahuddin, an alleged Lashkar-e-Tayeba (LeT) militant and prime accused in the attacks on the CRPF camp at Rampur and the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. He will be investigated for possible links to the Mumbai attacks.
Last week, Mumbai police had got the transit remand of Fahim Ansari, another LeT militant, from whom the Uttar Pradesh Police had recovered hand-drawn maps of potential targets in Mumbai in February 2007. Both men will be moved to Mumbai.
Before coming to UP, Mumbai police had shown Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive during the Mumbai attacks, the photographs of Sabahuddin and Fahim.
According to reports, though Kasab did not identify Fahim, he said Sabahuddin looked like someone whom he had seen in one of the LeT training camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
“Kasab probably knows Sabahuddin, but it can be confirmed only after they come face to face and are interrogated together. We may also get information about some other links within the country which the LeT had used in the Mumbai attacks,” Assistant Commissioner Police of Mumbai Crime Branch, Ashok Dhurate was quoted as saying.
“Sabahuddin was a very important man in the LeT set up. At the time of his arrest, he was LeT’s area commander in Nepal where his job was to facilitate operations in India,” an unnamed Mumbai Crime Branch officer involved in the 26/11 attack case wasquoted as saying by the Indian Express.
