Dubai deported terrorist wanted by India
Airport satellite phone seizure: Ultra deported
NEW DELHI: An alleged terrorist wanted in connection with the 2005 seizure of communication equipment at IGI was deported from Dubai on Sunday. The man owing allegiance to terror outfit Al Badr has been identified as Sheikh Sajjad (35). He had been detained at Dubai on an alert issued by Indian agencies.
On June 16, 2005, Delhi Police had seized a large consignment of hi-tech communication equipment, including satellite phones, at the international airport. It was allegedly meant for militant operations in Jammu and Kashmir. The police arrested a businessman from Jangpura and another militant in connection with the case. However, the cops couldnt lay their hand on Sajjad, who had allegedly supplied the equipment.
Sajjad was flown to Delhi on Sunday and taken on remand by the special cell of Delhi Police. His name had cropped up during the interrogation of the two suspects who had been arrested. In that case, one person has already been convicted while another man was acquitted. It was revealed then that it was Sajjad who had sent the consignment meant for terrorists in J&K. "We need to question him in detail about the procurement of this equipment," said a senior police officer. The cops said they will also question him regarding his involvement in any other terror-related cases involving Al Badr.
The seized consignment included activated satellite phones, dozens of high-frequency wireless sets and a large number of detonators. The seizure was made by the Customs preventive unit. The consignment had landed at the cargo complex of the IGI on June 8 from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and was to be delivered at Srinagar, revealed sources.
A businessman from Jangpura, Mohammad Amin Khan, originally belonging to Srinagar, was arrested by Delhi Police when he approached the Customs officials to claim the consignment. At his instance, another person, Ubaid, was also arrested.
"Satellite phones and radio transmitters are being used by terror groups to avoid detection, since many of their wireless and telephonic conversations were intercepted by the security agencies. Intercepting satellite phones is nearly impossible," claimed an officer.
