Delhi police have arrested a man on suspicion of acting as a handler for the men who carried out the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Police arrested Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari, alias Abu Jindal or Abu Hamza, on June 21 as he arrived at Delhi's international airport, local news reports said. Some reports suggested Saudi Arabia earlier had detained the man and deported him on India's request.

According to local television reports, Home Minister P. Chidambaram confirmed the arrest.
Mr. Ansari is allegedly a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based terrorist group that carried out the Mumbai attacks, and according to media reports, his role was to teach the attackers to speak in Hindi. Local reports said he was a native of India's Maharashtra state of which Mumbai is the capital.
A spokesman for Delhi's police declined to comment.
When asked if India would follow up with Pakistani authorities after the arrest, Foreign Minister S. M. Krishna said: "Let them [Delhi Police] go through the investigation, they will then send a report to the government and we shall act accordingly."
Over a period of three days in November 2008, 10 Pakistani militants laid siege to luxury hotels, a Jewish center and a popular café, killing more than 160 people. Of the attackers, nine were killed. The lone survivor, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, a Pakistani citizen, was convicted in a court in Mumbai in May 2010. He is currently in jail awaiting the death penalty.
Mr. Ansari is also wanted for attacks on Mumbai trains in 2006 in which 180 people were killed, television channel NDTV reported.
Police arrest suspected handler of 26/11 attacks at Delhi airport
New Delhi: A much-wanted terrorist who was among six instructors or handlers of the men who attacked Mumbai on 26/11 has been arrested by the Delhi police. 166 people died in that attack in 2008.
Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Hamza was arrested by the Delhi police on June 21. It's not clear where he was found, or how. Sources say India worked closed with Saudi Arabian intelligence officials to track him down. Home Minister P Chidambaram confirmed, "The person who goes by the pseudonym of Abu Jindal has been apprehended and remanded to the custody of our law enforcement agencies."
External Affairs Minister SM Krishna congratulated the Delhi Police for the arrest. "The Delhi police have been doing a magnificent job. Let them go through the investigation, they will then send a report to the government and we shall act accordingly," he said.
Ansari, allegedly a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) which carried out the Mumbai attacks, was in Pakistan when ten terrorists sailed into Mumbai from Karachi. Indian intelligence sources believe that he had tutored the men in Hindi. Taped intercepts of the conversation between the attackers and the handlers had Ansari making the chilling statement, "Yeh to sirf trailer hai, asal film baaki hai (this is just the trailer, the film has yet to start rolling)."
His voice samples will now be matched against the recordings.
30-year-old Ansari allegedly belongs to the Georai area of Beed district in Maharashtra. He is also wanted for attacks on Mumbai trains in 2006 in which 180 people were killed. According to the Bangalore police, Ansari is one of the absconding accused in the Indian Institute of Science (IISC case) attack case. "We want to take custody of him and interrogate," said Bangalore Police Commissioner B Dayananda.
On tape, Ansari was also heard using typical Hindi words like "prashasan" (administration), suggesting an Indian was in Pakistan among those coordinating the attacks in Mumbai. He allegedly directed the terrorists to conceal their Pakistani identity and to identify themselves as members of Deccan Mujahideen hailing from Toli Chowk in Hyderabad.
Ansari was allegedly originally a member of the banned terror group SIMI and was later recruited by Lashker-e-Taiba.
