To unearth IM’s network, Subhan, Junaid to be brought face to face

The Delhi police would look to unearth the existing modules of the Indian Mujahideen following the arrest of Ariz Khan alias Junaid. Police officials say that the back to back arrests of Junaid and Abdul Subhan are crucial and their interrogation would help unearth any existing modules of the IM.

Ariz Khan was caught by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police from the Indo-Nepal border last Tuesday, while his Nepal-based associate Tauqeer was arrested in January.

In a bid to get more information, both Subhan and Junaid will be brought face to face, an officer of the Special Cell of the Delhi police informed OneIndia.

Khan will also be taken to different states where serial blasts were executed by the IM, to unearth their network, the official said requesting anonymity.

Khan was sent to 25 days police custody by a Delhi court last evening.

Seeking his remand, the Special Cell told the court that he was required to be quizzed over the Batla House case besides various other serial blasts in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Delhi.

Khan was allegedly involved in the Batla House encounter with Delhi Police in 2008.

He had managed to escape along with his associate Shahzad during the encounter, in which Delhi Police inspector Mahesh Chandra Sharma was killed, the officer said.

Khan was also linked with deadly terror strikes in UP courts, Ahmadabad, Surat and Jaipur, during 2007-2008, in which about 165 people were killed and over 535 were injured.
