| Militant outfits causing confusion among investigating agencies | | Delhi HC blast | | Jammu: The National Investigating Agency (NIA) officials and the Delhi police continue to be baffled over fake emails, claiming responsibility for the September 7 blast outside the Delhi High Court in which 13 people were killed and over 88 wounded.
On Sunday night another person, belonging to Gujarat state, Manu Oza, has been arrested on charge of having sent an email in the name of a militant group claiming responsibility for the bomb blast. Earlier emails, claiming responsibility in the name of one outfit or the other, had emanated from even a remote area like Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir. It was followed by emails from Kolkatta and some parts of UP.
What is amazing is the disclosure made by Oza that he had sent the email in the name of a foreign militant outfit. It is yet to be established whether Oza wished to play pranks with the police and the investigating agencies without knowing about the serious ramifications behind his exercise or is he connected with the foreign militants outfit? This needs to be probed.
As far as Kishtwar episode is concerned the police are yet to establish whether Shoaib Sheikh, a college student, who was arrested on charge of having sent an email in the name of Harkatul Jehadul Islami from a cyber cafe in Kishtwar claiming responsibility for the Delhi blast was playing pranks or was simply being involved. However, parents of Shoaib have categorically denied their son's link with the HUJI or with email sending.
Inside reports said that terrorist groups have formulated a well knit plan for causing confusion among the investigating agencies and the police. They do not want the NIA and the police achieve any breakthrough in the investigations by identifying the person or persons, outfits or outfits responsible for the blast outside the Delhi High Court. Hence the investigating agencies, besides the media have been receiving emails on behalf of Lashkar-I-Toiba, IM, HUJI and others claiming responsibility for the blast.
The trend of causing confusion among the security and intelligence agencies during any militant strike has originated from the Kashmir valley where terrorist activities took roots in 1989. Whenever militants carried out a daring act killing security personnel or political leaders or caused damage to Government buildings and bridges various terrorist outfits used to claim responsibility for those acts of violence and subversion.
At times Hizbul Mujahideen outfit would claim responsibility for an act of violence for which the Lashkar-i-Toiba or Jash-e-Mohammad had claimed responsibility earlier. This was done to confuse the investigating agencies.
Whenever incidents of human rights violations by militants were reported not a single rebel outfit claimed responsibility for fear of losing peoples' support. Instead these very militants would carry out a whispering campaign against the security forces blaming them for indulging in extortion of various hues.
And those indulging in blame game can pose problems for many. This is what seems to have happened to Shoaib Sheikh of Kishtwar. Unconfirmed reports said that some mischief mongers may have sent the mail out of fun which has caused unimaginable problem for Shoaib and his parents.
The police and the investigating agencies should deal firmly with those who have played pranks by sending fake emails claiming responsibility for the blast. Those who would be found to have played pranks should be punished so that in future none dared to emulate pranksters.
Though unraveling the mystery behind the Delhi blast has become difficult in the absence of any CCTV footage, the security agencies need to use all their nerves for identifying the culprits so that innocent people, taken into custody on suspicion, were released. |
