Haren Pandya murder ‘mastermind’ was at Pak meet,says Asadullah Akhtar
According to sources, Akhtar has told interrogators that he was among those from five Indian states who attended a meeting in Karachi to discuss the future plans of IM. He also added that apparently SIMI ideologue Mufti Sufiyan, suspected to be behind Pandya's murder, was in Pakistan and present at that meeting.
Pandya, a senior BJP leader, was shot dead by unidentified men after a morning walk in Ahmedabad. The CBI had arrested 14 people for the crime but they were let off by the Gujarat High Court. The CBI has filed an appeal against the acquittal in the Supreme Court.
Akhtar was arrested along with Yasin from near the India-Nepal border last year and the duo are since being questioned by security agencies. They are currently in the custody of the Delhi Police Special Cell in connection with the 2010 Jama Masjid terror attack.
