Pandey laptop could provide evidence in Malegaon blast

MUMBAI: A laptop seized from self-styled religious leader Dayanand Pandey could provide investigators valuable evidence regarding the alleged

conspiracy to carry out the September 29 Malegaon blast, sources here claimed. ( Watch )

Pandey was allegedly in the habit of using his laptop, seized when he was arrested in Kanpur on November 14, to film and record meetings with people including fellow conspirators whom he met prior to the Malegaon blast.

The religious leader used the laptop to record conversations and also video recorded many of the meetings he held with other conspirators, the sources alleged.

The recordings are expected to provide valuable evidence to the ATS regarding the role of other accused and Pandey in carrying out the blast.

Pandey is among the eleven persons arrested for their alleged involvement in the Malegaon blast in which six persons were killed and over 80 wounded.

The laptop also contained a lot of right wing literature and documents which could be used to prove the accused had plans to commit more terror acts in the country, sources said.

Visitors to the self-styled religious leader were also filmed or photographed by Pandey when they visited him, the sources said, adding that the final report from the Forensic Science Laboratory was still awaited.

The ATS had earlier alleged that Pandey was among the main conspirators to carry out the blast and was the link between arrested Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, army official Prasad Purohit and wanted accused in the Malegaon case, Ramji Kalsangra.

All eleven accused have been booked under sections of the stringent MCOCA for allegedly forming an organised crime syndicate which carried out the Malegaon blast.

Nine of the other accused in the case are presently in judicial custody till December 3 after the MCOCA court on Monday had rejected the plea by the ATS to obtain police custody of the Sadhvi, Purohit and member of the right wing group Abhinav Bharat, Ajay Rahirkar.

The ATS had said they wanted to question the trio further in connection with other arrests made in the case like Abhinav Bharat member Sudhakar Chaturvedi.

Chaturvedi was caught in the city and a fake army identity card and a country made revolver, which were allegedly provided by Purohit, were recovered from him.

The Abhinav Bharat member, in police custody till December 3, also organised meetings between the eleven accused in the case and knew all of them, ATS officials had said.

ATS chief Karkare an upright officer: Ex-Maha DGP

Nagpur, Nov 26: Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, who is under attack from saffron brigade, has received appreciation from none other than his senior and former Maharashtra director general of police Arvind Inamdar.

"He is a good and upright officer, a law enforcing officer and has a good track record," Inamdar told reporters here yesterday at the inaugural function of Jaanta Raja's theatre group office.

Inamdar, however declined to comment on the Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur case and criticism of police investigation saying, "these are subjudice matters." "We have worked together and I know him well," he replied to a reporters question.

Inamdar's comments came at a function which was attended by noted historian Shivshahir Balasaheb Purandare, the producer-director of 'Jaanta Raja', besides members of the Sangh parivar were also present.

Police confirm threat to blow up ATS chief's house

An anonymous caller, who used a PCO to contact Pune police, threatened to blow up the residence of Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare "within a couple of days", a top official confirmed on Wednesday.
The caller who spoke a few lines in Marathi on November 24 evening cut the line after giving the threat, Rajendra Sonavane, Joint Commissioner of Police (JCP), said.

The call was later traced to a Public booth in Sahkar Nagar area of the city, he added.

Asked whether it was being seen as a 'hoax', Sonavane said police were taking all such threats seriously in the present scenario and the Mumbai ATS had been informed duly about the threat call.

Asim, he was killed while leading an operation. That's what they are telling us.

It does seem quite suspicious. He gets threats, hes closing in on the malegaon culprits and then a situation is created where the chief has to go in for the rescue op and then that big name chief is killed.

guns, including AK-47s, and grenades to strike at the city's most high-profile targets -- the hyper-busy CST (formerly VT) rail terminus; the landmark Taj Hotel at the Gateway and the luxury Oberoi Trident at Nariman Point; the domestic airport at Santa Cruz; the Cama and GT hospitals near CST; the Metro Adlabs multiplex and Mazgaon Dockyard -- killing at least 80 and sending more than 900 to hospital, according to latest reports. ( Watch )

The attacks have taken a tragic toll on the city's top police brass: The high-profile chief of the anti-terror squad Hemant Karkare was killed; Mumbai's additional commissioner of police (east) Ashok Kamte was gunned down outside the Metro; and celebrated encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar was also killed. ( Watch )

The attacks appeared to be aimed at getting international attention as the terrorists took upto 40 British nationals and other foreigners hostage. The chairman of Hindustan Unilever Harish Manwani and CEO of the company Nitin Paranjpe were among the guests trapped at the Oberoi. All the internal board members of the multinational giant were reported to be holed up in the Oberoi hotel.

Two terrorists were reported holed up inside the Oberoi Hotel and commando operation was on.

An unknown outfit, Deccan Mujahideen, has sent an email to news organizations claiming that it carried out the Mumbai attacks.

The Army and Navy in Mumbai were put on alert. 65 Army commandos and 200 NSG commandos were being rushed to Mumbai, Home Minister Shivraj Patil said.

Some media reports attributed the attack to Lashkar-e-Taiba. There were alsounconfirmed reports that some of the terrorists came in by sea. A boat laden with explosives was recovered later at night off the Gateway of India.

Well after midnight, sources said two of the terrorists were shot and wounded at Girgaum in south Mumbai. The two were driving in a commandeered silver-coloured Skoda car. Earlier, these men had sprayed bullets from a police Bolero, outside the Metro Adlabs multiplex.

The attacks occurred at the busiest places. Besides hotels and hospitals, terrorists struck at railway stations, Crawford Market, Wadi Bunder and on the Western Express Highway near the airport. Several of these places are within a one-km radius of the commissioner of police's office. "This is definitely a terrorist strike. Seven places have bee attacked with automatic weapons and grenades. Terrorists are still holed up in three locations Taj and Oberoi hotels and GT Hospital. Encounters are on at all three places," said Maharashtra DGP A N Roy.

St George's Hospital and G T Hospital were said to have received 75 bodies and more than 250 injured people, additional municipal commissioner R A Rajeev said. Bombay Hospital got two bodies and 30 injured people were admitted there; Cooper Hospital, Vile Parle, got three dismembered bodies.

Three of the deaths occurred inside the Taj and one G T Hospital attendant died in a shootout inside the hospital. There were reports of people cowering under tables and chairs at both the Taj as well as G T Hospital.

Metro Junction resident Manoj Goel said: "My brother, Manish, died in the firing at Colaba's Hamaal Galli."
Cops fired back at the men -- probably from one of the Lashkar groups, dressed in black and with backpacks and SRPF, Crime Branch, ATS and teams of military commandos were summoned to the spot. Train services at CST were suspended and all roads leading to and from south Mumbai were blockaded.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh cut short his Kerala visit and was returning to Mumbai. He described the situation in Mumbai as "very serious".

Deshmukh promised "stringent action" against the assailants but the mood across Mumbai was not so optimistic.
