UP Police cry foul over IM man Ajaz Sheikh’s arrest


Mangalore Today News Network

Lucknow, Sep 9, 2014:  The CCTV footage examined by the Uttar Pradesh Police does not support the claim of its Delhi counterparts that Indian Mujahideen operative Ajaz Sheikh was arrested from the railway station in Saharanpur.

Ajaz Sheikharr..Neither Sheikh nor the three policemen supposed to be present at the Saharanpur railway station on Friday were seen in the CCTV footage. The Delhi police on Friday night had taken Sheikh to the Saharanpur Sadar police station, where his arrest was recorded by a constable on their request.

"We got 23 clips of CCTV footage of the railway station on the direction of DGP A. L. Banerjee. But neither Ajaz Sheikh nor the policemen are seen in it. This suggests that he was arrested somewhere else and brought to Saharanpur," a police officer said.

"The DGP and senior police officers have expressed anger over this revelation and suggested an inquiry against the constable of Saharanpur Sadar police station who had recorded the arrest," the officer said. On Sunday, Banerjee had admitted that the Uttar Pradesh Police was not aware of Sheikh’s presence in the state. "We would have arrested him if we had any input about him," the DGP had said.

According to the Delhi Police, Sheikh had returned to the country from Nepal via the India-Nepal border in eastern Uttar Pradesh and stayed in Lucknow for a few days before visiting Moradabad. From there, Sheikh went to Saharanpur and met his three contacts in Deoband area.

His final destination was Delhi. The Delhi Police had also claimed that Sheikh had left India after the arrest of Yasin Bhatkal and returned on the direction of Pakistan-based IM operative Mohsin Chaudhary.

"As far as we know, Shahid Sheikh had filed a missing report about his son Ajaz Sheikh at a Pune police station on February 19 this year," another police officer said.
