| Poonch attack: Bathindi Madrassa cleric was coordinating with Pak-based terror handlers | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 30: Detained by the Special Operation Group (SoG) of the J&K Police, a Moulvi of Bhathindi Madrassa was reportedly in touch with Pakistan-based terror handlers to coordinate the Poonch attack.
Highly placed sources said that during initial questioning the detained Imam confessed his involvement in terror activities as he was coordinating between some active over-ground workers (OGWs) and Pakistan-based mentors of terrorists.
“The Moulvi has set up a strong communication network and he was using advanced media platforms to remain in touch with Pakistan-based terrorists”, a source said, adding, “to dodge the security agencies, the Moulvi was using modern technics for his communication with terrorists sitting in Pakistan”.
Sources said that Moulvi was regularly guiding Nasir Ahmed of Poonch who was already arrested for giving shelter to terrorists for three months.
Important to mention here that the Special Operation Group (SoG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday detained one Imam from the Bathindi area of Jammu City.
The Imam of a Madarsa was arrested as his name was revealed by Nasir Ahmed during interrogation. Nasir Ahmed and some of his family members have been detained by the police for giving shelter to terrorists involved in ambushing an Army truck on April 20.
According to reports, SOG of Jammu and Kashmir Police detained a Moulvi from Jammu’s Bathindi area for allegedly having links with the terrorists involved in the recent attack.
“A team of SOG lifted Moulvi namely Manzoor from the Madrassa, Markaz -UL- Marrif in Bathindi on suspicions of having links with Poonch terrorist attack,” reports said and added that the alleged accused is a teacher in Madrassa and hailed from the border district of Poonch.
Sources said that Moulvi Manzoor regularly visited the residence of Nashir Ahmed in Poonch.
On Friday police said that Nasir’s family provided all support to terrorists. Nasir Ahmed’s family not only provided shelter to terrorists for two months but food and logistics with the help of other locals.
Explosive dropped by a Pakistan-controlled drone near the Line of Control (LoC) was picked up by Nasir Ahmed’s family members from the spot and later handed over to the terrorists.
The terror attack on April 20 claimed the lives of five soldiers of the Indian Army who were moving in a truck in the Bhimber Gali area on the border of the Poonch and Rajouri districts. Reports said that six to seven terrorists were reported involved in the attack. |
