| Mumbai police issue advisory on Kashmiri youth, drivers | | | agencies
MUMBAI, Jan 9: Suspecting them to be terror agents, Mumbai police have asked various police stations in the megapolis to keep a close watch on Kashmiri youth and drivers.
The need to issue an advisory in this regard was felt after the arrest of two Kashmiri youth and following intelligence inputs that several of them were associated with various terror groups, official sources said.
"The Mumbai police has issued an advisory to various police stations asking them to keep a watch on people from J&K, especially drivers, as some of them are suspected to have been carrying out recce for terror groups," the sources added.
The advisory, which was circulated among various police stations of the megapolis, was issued after the arrest of two Kashmiris in November last year, based on a specific intelligence input provided by J&K police.
The J&K police had also informed the Union home ministry about the possible sinister designs of some terror groups, especially Lashkar-e-Taiba, to carry out a recce exercise between Mumbai and Ahmedabad for which services of some drivers were being used, sources said.
Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had on November 29 last arrested two Kashmiri youths for allegedly trying to recruit members for LeT and obtaining details of military and oil installations in Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Mohammed Sharif Makhandeen Thakkar (33) and Mohammed Ishak Mohammed
Rashid Kumlakh (29), both working as oil tanker drivers, were accused of trying to recruit members for the LeT outfit after receiving instructions from their handlers in J&K and across the border.
"Terror outfits like LeT and Indian Mujahideen are trying to recruit Kashmiri youth and drivers to conduct recce of sensitive areas, including defence establishments. Any police station under whose jurisdiction there are oil depots or defence installations should
ensure proper security both inside and outside the place," the advisory reads.
It further states if any private security agency is employing any Kashmiri men as security guards, police should conduct proper scrutiny of such men. "A watch should also be kept on any foreign national found roaming in a suspicious manner in crowded places," it says. |
