As soon as the news about Ahmedbad blasts mastermind Abu Bashr’s arrest by Gujarat police anti terrorist Squad spread, Congress leader from Uttar Pradesh Ram Naresh Yadav reached to the house of Abu Bashr and consoled his parents. Ram Naresh Yadav also reportedly promised that he would take Abu Bashr’s wrongful arrest matter to the Congress high-command.

Soon after the arrests of Abu Bashr and 9 other Ahmedabad blasts accused, Lalu Prasad Yadav in Delhi talking to the reporters said that innocent people were being targeted by Narendra Modi and Gujarat police and innocent people(like Abu Bashr )should not be arrested. He continued to express his support to SIMI and sticked to his earlier statement that bane on SIMI was not necessary.

In Ahmedabad, on the occassion of Silk festival organized at Karnavati Club, Congress leader and Union Minister of Textile, Shankarsinh Vaghela talked to the reporters that police might have caught innocent Muslims as terrorists. He also expressed possibility that bombs in Surat were planted by Narendra Modi’s brigade for political gain.

In Delhi, jobless Congressman Digvijay Singh said in his interview that whenever BJP was in trouble, bomb blasts happened in the country. Digvijay Singh claimed that VHP and RSS were involved in bomb making.

And plenty of fashionable secular media persons too jumped in to telecast and publish Abu Bashr’s parents and brothers and villagers ‘our man is innocent’ brand statements.

Our Terrorist

Now look at the Irony. When our Congress men and their allies were passing all nonsense statements like these and more and section of our media was generating sympathetic stories about Abu Bashr and his family to woo Muslim, the man Abu Bashr whom they were trying to project as ‘The Great Indian innocent Muslim-2008 targeted by fascist Narendra Modi government’ was himself confessing his involvement in Ahmedabad blasts in presence of a resident judge.

Mufti Abu Bashr before the metropolitan magistrate JK Pandya at his Vastrapur Government officers colony resident on late Sunday evening in Ahmedabad admitted that the 26 July serial blasts in Ahmedabad were a result of meticulous planning with specific roles cut out for every individual. Disclosing that he had prior knowledge of the attacks, he also confessed before judge JK Pandya that the blasts were executed by Qayamuddin Kapadia Ilias Abdul Kapadia and his men. He agreed to reveal everything about the blasts to the police.

Judge JK Pandya then after sent Abu Bashr to 14 days remand. Abu Bashr was presented before the judge in connection with the Maninagar blasts. Maningar resident Harshad Halan had lodged a complaint on July 26 soon after the blasts in which he had stated that a cycle bomb had exploded when he and three others were at a tea stall near Maninagar square around 6.30-6.45 pm when a blast injured them all.

Other nine accused were presented before the urgent metropolitan magistrate in connection with blasts that occurred in the Civil hospital.

It should be noted that Qayamuddin Kapadia whom Abu Bashr claimed as a main conspirator of Ahmedabad blasts lives in Vadodara’s Yakutpura area. Police say he owns a factory ‘Mona Rubber Stamps’ on the outskirts of the city. He is evading arrest and on the top of absconding list.

Now so far, in police interrogation Abu Bashr has confessed that he was present in Ahmedabad on the day of the blasts. Bashr had made his base in Ahmedabad for two months and had stayed at a rented house in Vatva from where he controlled the entire operations.

So when even terrorist himself confessed his participation in Ahmedabad bomb blasts, champions of Muslim cause our politicians were singing different songs of ‘innocent Muslims being victimized’ and were acting like ‘B’ team of Indian Muzahidins.

As many as 25 live bombs were defused in Surat by the bomb squad, while one bomb was defused in Ahmedabad

WE have a new stream of journalism.Whenever Cop catches someone who is Muslim and specifically when it is a BJP Ruled state,our dear journalist friends immediately visits that Muslim persons house and will take the interview of his mother/wife. Now It is but obvious that aaprt from exceptions every mother of wife will tell the reporters that her husband or her son is innocent and Government is just harrashing them because they are Muslims.And our dear journalist note this down or shoot it and their dear editors and tv news channels managing directors will approve that immediately.

We normally have much of Investigative Journalism mostly from TV Channels.They run for their so called “Investigation”,It may be it example of Arushi’s Case or Asharam Bapu’s Ashram Case. But have you seen any journalist investigating for these so called Arrest of Minority?For Example, Ahmedabad Police arrested a man named Halil who is active worker of Ahele Hadisi. Well, have you seen any
of the journalist visiting Ahele Hadisi premises? Any one who bring the past of the Halil in to the media? The Fact is they do not have the courage to visit these kind of buildings.They are afraid of doing this.

In the above case instead of doing this kind of investigation they published the interview of Halil’s Wife. And her statement was “My Husband is Innocent”. One more SIMI Activist Wanted since 7 years named Sajid Mansuri was arrested by police. Our dear journalist friends immediately found his wife for her interview. And What she said?”Its Our Fault that We are Muslim”.And Media has highlighted these interviews.

Well If someone seriously Analise the intention of media, it seems that they are trying to get the Sympathy for the family members of the Arrested Person and so for the Arrested Person. Now what encourages media for doing so , I am not getting it.They have shown interview of terrorist’s family members, but how many of you have seen any interviews of the blast victims family member? Hardly
few?

In my opinion media’s Intension is questionable along with Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mulay Singh Yadav. And one should seriously think that where we are heading?

Ahmedabad, Aug 17: Mufti Abu Bashir, the alleged mastermind behind the July 26 terror attacks, was brought to Ahmedabad this evening, police sources said. Nine other people have also been arrested by the Gujarat police for their suspected involvement in the serial blasts which claimed the lives of 55 people and injured 150 others.

Bashir was arrested earlier in the day by a joint team of Gujarat police and the Anti-Terrorist Squad of Uttar Pradesh police. A Lucknow court granted Gujarat police three-day transit remand of Bashir, an active member of banned organisation SIMI, to bring him to Ahmedabad for detailed interrogation.

The Gujarat police, earlier in the day, claimed they had ‘nearly cracked’ the conspiracy behind the Ahmedabad serial bombings, with his arrest.

Abu Bashir, who hails from Binapara village in UP, was arrested from Lucknow’s Moulviganj area and is being taken to Gujarat for questioning on a 3 day transit remand. The UP police also conducted raids on Bashir’s house on Saturday.

“With the arrest of Mufti Abu Bashir from Azamgarh (in Uttar Pradesh) today by a joint team of Gujarat Police and UP police, it is probably the first time anyone has reached the brain behind (such kind of) blasts,” Pandey claimed.

The DGP also said that the Indian Mujahidden terror group, which had claimed responsibility for the Ahmedabad blasts, was none other than the hard-line faction of the banned SIMI organisation. Joint Commissioner Bhatia informed the press that SIMI has split along hardline and moderate factions, and that it was this hardline faction of SIMI which started calling itself SIM, ‘Student Islamic Movement’ with global aspirations. It later took out the ‘Student’ from its name so that it was left with ‘IM,’ which was re-christened to ‘Indian Mujahideen.’

According to Pandey, Bashir, with his oratory, “used to inspire terror activities. In April, he had held a big meeting. He had also visited Ahmedabad. By interrogating him more clues about other blasts that occurred in the country earlier could come out. We have uncovered sleeper cells successfully,” the police chief added.

“I wish to say with full pride that for the last 20 days, Gujarat Police has been progressing on its investigation. A Crime branch team headed by Ashish Bhatia (Joint Commissioner-Crime) and police forces of Vadodara, Bharuch and Surat had taken up independent investigative operations that led to the arrests of nine people.

Replying to a question about a US national being interrogated, Pandey said this lead too was being probed. The IP address of a terror e-mail sent to TV news channels prior to the blasts was traced to Navi Mumbai and turned out to be that of the US national.

Navi Mumbai police say it is possible the American’s account could have been hacked into. The an e-mail has helped the security agencies arrest some people and release sketches of different suspects.

Surat bombs used different timers

According to Pandey, the only difference between the bombs used in the Ahmedabad blasts and those that failed to go off in Surat was the timers used.

The timers used in the Ahmedabad bombs were mechanical clocks while those in Surat bombs were IC chips that malfunctioned.

He also pulled up the media for their ‘over excitement.’ “If the police can’t tell you something as disclosing something prematurely will harm the investigation, there is a weird competition among the media to write stories based on speculation,” he said tartly.

He said that the leads from the investigation would help to solve about 11-12 others cases including those in Jaipur, Bangalore, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Well planned attack

About 40-50 cadres of the banned organisation had participated in extensive training in the jungles near Ernakulam of Kerala in December 2007 and again in Gujarat in the first week of January. The second camp was conducted in the hilly Pavagadh area of Halol in Panchmahals district.

He further added that prior to the Ahmedabad and Surat blasts, Abu Bashir organised camps in Gujarat during April 2008 where they charted out the plan of Ahmedabad and Surat blasts.

One of those arrested, Nasir, was from Gujarat and is the son of Naseemuddin who is lodged in the Sabarmati jail here, Bhatia said.

At the Ernakulam camp, Bhatia said, the activists were trained in planting cycle bombs and also put through a regimen of rock climbing and swimming, and were taught how to survive in the jungle and how to throw the police off track if caught.

The activists were also given pseudonyms, Bhatia said, adding that a bomb-making expert, identified as Altaf Subhan, was also present at the camp. Intelligence agencies believe at least some of those trained were involved in the Jaipur blasts in May.

A meeting was held at the house of Yunus Mansuri in Bapunagar area of the city to plan the blasts, Bhatia said.

They had purchased five pre-paid mobile cards for internal communications and they were traced after checking the records.

It was found that the calls which were coming to these five cards had stopped after July 26, the day of the blasts.

Bhatia also said police have indentified the shops from where the cycles used in the blasts were purchased.

Explosives for the blasts came from Madhya Pradesh, Bhatia said. “Those arrested were present during a training camp organised by SIMI in Halol in Vadodara distrct in January 2008. They were given training on how to survive in adverse conditions and were trained how to tackle police interrogation,” Bhatia said.

“They were also taught how to drive motorcycle and fake an accident during the camp,” Bhatia said.

Those arrested include Jahid Sheikh, Yunus Mansuri, Shamsudin Sheikh, Arif Kadri, Gyasuddin, Imran, Usman Agarbattiwala, Iqbal Sheikh and Sajid Mansuri.

Without ruling out the involvement of locals, he said that a lot of outsiders were involved in the blasts.

He also claimed to have busted many sleeper cells of the banned SIMI across the state.

In an eye raising discloser, the DGP said that most of the arrested were well educated. One terrorist, who hails from Mumbai, even worked in Wipro, said the police. But he was not able to provide other concrete details, as the person was still at large.

According to the DGP, SIMI had a role in all the major blasts that shook the country in the past few years, including in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Jaipur, Maharashtra and Hyderabad. The Gujarat police has leads which will lead them to those behind the blasts in other states, he added.

Ruing the media’s role during the terrorist attacks, Pandey said, “It is very unfortunate that media sometimes over excitedly and unknowingly project things in such a way that helps terrorists and gives them boost. Sometimes Police do not divulge things that will affect the investigation.”

Brain mapping on Bilal : Mumbai ATS chief

Meanwhile, addressing a press conference, Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare said that the organisation is also conducting a parallel investigation into the Ahmadabad and Surat blasts.

The police has conducted a brain mapping test on Bilal Kagzi and another person in connection with the cases. He said that the police was not giving a ‘clean chit’ to the American national, Kenneth Heywood, a resident of Navi Mumbai, whose IP address was used to send the email, purportedly from the Indian Mujahideen. The email, from an organisation styling itself the Indian Mujahideen, was sent to media organisaitons minutes before the blasts and claimed responsibility for the terror attack.

The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of the Mumbai police is also investigating a former Wipro engineer’s possible role in the July 26 Ahmedabad serial blasts, a senior police official said Saturday.

The ATS arrested two people form Pune in a fake currency case, Nadeem Shaikh and Ayaz Khan, and they would be quizzed about their possible involvement in the Ahmedabad blasts, the ATS chief added.

The ATS is also grappling with the case of the four stolen vehicles from Navi Mumbai which were used in the blasts.

However, the ATS is hopeful of getting leads from the forensic reports of the laptops and computers seized from some of Haywood’s neighbours in the Gunina Apartments of Sanpada suburb in Navi Mumbai.

Since last Tuesday, nearly 10 people, including Haywood have been subjected to polygraph and lie detector tests in connection with the terror e-mail, Karkare said.

The Gujarat government is in the process of preparing a comprehensive data base of each individual living in the state, complete with the person’s name, photograph, place of residence, date of birth and profession.


The science and technology department has obtained the full photo electoral list from the Election Commission of India, containing 3.5 crore names of persons above 18 years of age. Other sources are being tapped to complete the list of an estimated 5.5 crore population.

The unique project is being assistedby the National Informatics Centre (NIC) of the Department of Information Technology to prepare a software for the data base. Officials say the datacould form the backbone for e-governance projects for providing various servicesto residents.

NIC representatives in Gandhinagar said no other state has attempted creating such a huge data base. The entire data would be available on a portal that will serve as the gateway for each individual in Gujarat to obtain services being made available by the government.


Last week, science and technology secretary Raj Kumar made a presentation at a meeting chaired by state chief secretary Manjula Subramaniam. Officials said other data bases, such as ration cards or below poverty line (BPL) lists will be integrated with the electoral list to make it all-inclusive.
