RAW informers framed innocent men
Till last week Mohammad Altaf was the man accused of plotting to kill Ajmal
Qasab, the only terrorist caught in the Mumbai attack.
He was detained on the 14th and grilled for several days -- after his name figured in a RAW memo.
But, the premier intelligence agency was actually taken for a ride by two of its informers from Kashmir.
One of the informers -- Syed Muzaffar -- has been arrested. The other informer Shahbaz is still at large.
Mohammad Altaf says: "They told me that you have links with Ajmal Qasab and you are involved in Mumbai attacks. I said how. They showed me a letter pad of LeT and also a letter from Ministry of Home Affairs."
The RAW memo sent to all agencies on February 13 read:
"According to the intelligence, Abu Haider contactable on mobile NO 9906786052 has been directed to execute a fidayeen attack in Mumbai to eliminate the lone surviving terrorist of Mumbai terror strikes, Ajmal Kasab. Abu Haider has a group of 5 militants, who recently arrived (Dec 08, Jan 09) at his disposal for the plan."
Altaf, who runs a school in Srinagar, was passed off as a Lashkar-e-Toiba financier in contact with Abu Haider, a Pakistani national and a Lashkar commander.
But Abu Haider was found to be a common villager, Nisar Ahmad Mir from Bandipore. And Altaf's calls and activities revealed a clean record.
Finally, the police started investigating the RAW informers, and Muzaffar confessed.
He had nailed Altaf because he had sacked a teacher, who happened to be his relative.
Mohammad Altaf says: "He was harassing me, threatening me. He was saying that he is working with IB, DGP is his friend and working RR. He was also having a pistol with him. But I was not scared, at last I saw how they settle score with common people.''
The other RAW informer Shahbaz had also named one Akram Yatoo for his Lashkar links. But Yatoo's only crime was that he wanted back the Rs 1.5 lakh. he had loaned Shahbaz.
