Gujarat riots caused Indian Mujahideen: National Investigation Agency
By Aman Sharma, ET Bureau | 20 Jul, 2013, 05.09AM IST
NEW DELHI: The Indian Mujahideen was formed as a result of the mobilisation among Muslim youth in the wake of the 2002 Gujarat riots, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has put on record for the first time in its chargesheet filed against the banned terrorist organisation's cadres and said that the outfit nurses hatred against the Hindus.
In the chargesheet filed on July 17, accusing five IM operatives of hatching a conspiracy for carrying out various terrorist acts across the country, the NIA has said, "IM was formed in 2003 after ultra radicalised Muslim youth segregated from the Student Islamic Movement of India due to communal mobilisation caused by factors like the riots in Gujarat in 2002 after the Godhra train burning incident and the Babri Masjid demolition. They do not believe in India's Constitution and IM's members nurse communal hatred against the Hindu community." The IM is receiving regular funding from abroad and some of its functionaries are undertaking large-scale recruitment for carrying out terrorist strikes in various parts of the country, the NIA has said.
NIA admitted IM's absconding chief Yasin Bhatkal was arrested while he was staying in Kolkata a few years ago, but he claimed his name was Mohd Arshad and managed to get released. Bhatkal and other senior IM operatives set up terror modules in Darbhanga in Bihar, Nanded in Maharashtra, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Hyderabad, as per the charge sheet. "Yasin Bhatkal developed new hideouts in Delhi in 2008-09 and a new hideout and training sites in Darbhanga in Bihar during 2008-11. The IM's identity was first conclusively disclosed after the Batla House encounter in September 2008 by Special Cell of Delhi Police," the NIA has said.NIA has identified Ariz Khan of Azamgarh in UP as the main bomb maker and the most-wanted man of the IM in its chargesheet, which cites 119 prosecution witnesses against the home-grown outfit's cadres.
