HYDERABAD: Two youths from Maharashtra — one of whom is a suspected SIMI operative and the other an aide of Indian Mujahideen media in-charge — were arrested from Secunderabad on Wednesday. The police said they were allegedly planning to go to Afghanistan to get training from al-Qaida for carrying out terror activities in India.
The police also claimed to have seized literature on explosives formula, a 16GB pen drive containing literature in terror activities, among other things.
One of them was identified as Shah Mudassir alias Talha, who runs a general store in Umarkhed town of Yavatmal and is a member of SIMI, police claimed.
Even after ban on the organization in 2001, Talha became a member of the Association of Indian Minority Students (AIMS), which is a front for the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
The other youth was identified as Shoeb Ahmed Khan alias Tariq Bhai of Hingoli district and is an associate of Mansoor Ali Peerboy (media in-charge of IM, Pune Module), police said.
"He (Tariq) is also a close friend of Mudassir," police said.
Mudassir and Shoeb came to Secunderabad on Wednesday. As their movements were suspicious, they were taken into custody.
A case is registered with Gopalapuram police station under sections of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and IT Act. "They have been sent in judicial custody," DCP R Jaya Lakshmi said.
"Both are adept in using social networks in propagating jihad and both of them have several Facebook accounts," the DCP said in a release.
On Facebook, they came in contact with two Pakistan residents Abu Saif and Kamaran Sha, an Afghanistan citizen Zahid Al Hindi and three Indians from Saidabad in Hyderabad, Mir Showkath, Sameer Khan and Mothasim Billah.
Billah is a former SIMI member and son of Islahi, a Hyderabad-based Islamic scholar.
"During Facebook chats, Zahid Al Hindi and Mothasim Billah used to motivate them frequently. Once, Kamaran Sha shared literature through Facebook on explosives wherein three methods of explosive manufacturing from the locally and easily available chemicals were narrated," the officer said.
