India claims arrest of Indian Mujahideen operative

[haviZsultan]

Darbhanga, Jan 22 (ANI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a top Indian Mujahideen operative and close associate of the outfit's founder Yasin Bhatkal from Darbhanga in Bihar.

The NIA team, which had come from New Delhi, arrested Mohammad Danish Ansari from his house at Chakjora village last night in the state's Darbhanga district along with the help of the local police.

Security agencies had been on the trail of Danish Ansari as they claim that he used to provide shelter to Bhatkal.

Danish Ansari was also wanted by the Delhi Police in a terror-related case.

While talking to mediapersons, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of the NIA, Sarauddin Ansari, gave out the details of the arrest.

"We have arrested a militant belonging to the Indian Mujahideen (IM) named Danish. There are several cases against him for which we have arrested him and the rest of the information would be given out in New Delhi. He has been arrested from his residence at Chakjora in Darbhanga. So far we have made only one arrest in this regard," he said.

A non-bailable warrant was issued against the militant by the NIA special court last year over the charges of providing shelter to Bhatkal, who is involved in various blasts and is now allegedly hiding in Pakistan.

The IM has been accused of causing the serial blasts that rocked Pune in August last year. (ANI)

Recently many people are arrested for terrorism charges. Hope more are arrested.

I would like to state that I am deeply suspicious of this. How is an Ansari being linked to this? Ansaris today are among the most secular minded people in the world. Our maternal grandad was a real Sufi and his religion was only kept to himself. Even to his daughters he told them it was good to pray but never forced them even though in those times everyone was forced. My fathers side too forced people and even now forced people to pray.

I believe this is false news to incriminate innocent Ansaris. It is a shame that Ansaris have done everything for India producing scientists, businessmen and great students but they are being treated as terrorists. I believe this is a massive lie perpetuated by the media.

Modern Ansaris are highly secular minded. They never behave like terrorists.

I do not believe this could be done by an Ansari. People are cooking up names. At least find a religious family like Sheikh or Alvi or something? People from Ansari family are very noble people. My mother is from that side. I can draw parallels to this situation and how another Ansari was framed on a false charge only to be released later. This is really, really unfair. I do not know if he is a terrorist or not.

Ansari are very liberal.

Indian government and Hindu BJP need someone to pick on to blame their failures as a nation in providing security to their citizens...

Whole world and I still laugh @ Indians when they say IM is 90% foreign and ISI funded

Wait ? Most of the Muslims are peace loving, they can't be terrorists. But there are many, why, because they are wrong.

Most of the RSS people never indulged in any violence, but you didn't doubt for a second and painted entire organization as terrorist just because 10 people who had links with RSS one time.

This is the same organization NIA, which caught 10 RSS people.

So why are you questioning this ?

One of my friends is a Purohit, so Col. Purohit can't be guilty. Right ?

@KRAIT I appreciate your concern but this is about my family. Even in the Mumbai attacks magically an Ansari was involved when we all know Ansaris are the most humble people around-even I learned many things from them including belief in secularism of modern Ansaris. Hindus and Budhists sat at my nana's darbar and the old concept of din-e-ilahi was replayed at Firangi mahal where theologians and even normal people of different faiths would sit together in Lucknow and learn about each other. He has a shrine dedicated to him not because he was a pious muslim and had a role in Dar Ul Uloom Madrassa e Hind but because of his gentle nature and his nobility and chivalry.

Its just punishment for older Ansaris loyalty to Pakistan even though all younger ones never said anything against India except the ones that suffered direct bias or even killings of relatives.

Nana was an extremely humble man. This is an insult to Ansari nisbat. This article came a long time ago. I would like to share it as it has information about how an innocent Ansari was framed in our Lucknow:

Social activists demand release of innocent Muslims in UP
The Milli Gazette
Published Online: Apr 28, 2012
Print Issue: 1-15 May 2012
By Rajiv Yadav, PUCL

Lucknow: Social activists organised a meet here on 11 April at the U.P. Press Club to press for the demand for the release of innocent Muslims held on terror charges in the state. Social activist and former vice chancellor of Lucknow University Prof. Roop Rekha Verma, Magsaysay award winner Sandeep Pandey, Arundhati Dhuru and lawyers of some of the detainees, Randhir Singh Suman and Mohammad Shoeb, raised their voice demanding the release of innocent Muslims held on terror charges.

Samajwadi Party in its manifesto had promised to release innocent Muslims held in various jails on terror charges. Recently the party decided to release some of them which can be believed to be a step forward towards fulfilling its election promise. From the year 2000 onwards, Muslims and their institutions have been targeted on the pretext of the fight against terror in one way or the other. Of those arrested since that period some have been released because of lack of evidence but many are still languishing in jails not only in Uttar Pradesh but across India. The decision of Samajwadi Party to release some Muslim youths exposed the fact that terrorism has become a political issue rather than a law and order matter and therefore it can be solved politically. There is evidence that UP ATS kidnapped Tariq Qasmi from Azamgarh on 12 December and Khalid Mujahid on 16 December, 2007, for their alleged role in a series of bomb blasts in Lucknow, Varanasi and Faizabad courts on 23 November 2007. Missing report of Tariq was filed by his grandfather Azhar Ali in Raniki Sarai thana on 14 December 2007. As per RTI reply, Police in Madiyahu revealed that UP ATS had arrested Khalid Mujahid on 16 December from Madiyahu (Jaunpur) district which can be said to be a criminal act. On the contrary, UP STF claimed to have arrested both of them in the morning of 22 December from Barabanki (that is our ancestral village they are trying to incriminate!!!) with some explosives and arms.

After having seen its political implications, the then government ordered an inquiry which was to submit its report within six months but till date it has not done so. Aftab Alam Ansari of Kolkata who was incarcerated for the court blast was found innocent and released while Sajjadur Rahman of Kashmir has also been exonerated of any role in the Lucknow blast case.

After the blast in the court in various cities in Uttar Pradesh, Hindutva forces had issued a whip to all advocates not to take up the cases of those accused in terror charges. The reason for this as cited by them was that the court blast was planned to take revenge for Waliullah, an accused in the Sankatmochan blast.

Former ADG of Uttar Pradesh Brij Lal had said on 25 December 2007 that explosives and methods used in the court blasts were similar to that of Makka Masjid blast. Now, as we all know, the truth is that Hindutva terrorists were involved in the Makka Masjid blast, we demand a high level inquiry into these cases. Human rights and political organisations took a decision to fight it out legally. Lawyers of these Muslims youths were attacked and forced to shout slogans like “Hindustan Zindabad” and “Pakistan Murdabad”.

Two youths from Azamgarh were accused of belonging to “Indian Mujahideen” and killed in the Batla House encounter but till date the Central Government has not shown the guts for any kind of judicial inquiry. On 14 August 2008, Abul Bashar, another youth from Azamgarh, was arrested for being an “Indian Mujahideen” member from Beenapara in Azamgarh. In totality, so far 16 youths from Azamgarh have been arrested, while seven are still missing and two were killed in the Batla House encounter. Today, youths from Azamgarh are in jails in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Maharashtra, Delhi and some other places.

Human rights organisations also demanded inquiry into the attack on a CRPF camp at Rampur which was claimed to be a terror attack just to conceal a fight among CRPF personnel themselves. For this incident, youths named as Kausar Farooqui, Jang Bahadur, Sharif, Gulab Khan of Uttar Pradesh and Sabauddin from Bihar, Faheem Ansari from Mumbai (Ansaris everywhere???) , are languishing in jails in UP. Social activists have demanded a CBI inquiry into the incident of the shootout in the CRPF camp at Rampur.

On 19 June 2007, Nasir Hussain from Munniki Reti of Tehri Garhwal and on 21 June 2007 Mohammad Yakub from Nagina were shown to have been arrested from Lucknow. Likewise, On 19 June Naushad from Nirvana, Alwar (Rajasthan) and Jalaluddin from West Bengal were lifted from Charbagh and their arrests shown in Residency area in Lucknow. On interrogation of Jalaluddin, Ali Akbar Hussain and Sheikh Mukhtar of Bengal were shown to have been arrested from Bengal on 24 June, 2007.

Many youths of the state and from Kashmir have been arrested, claiming they were ISI agents in the state. People of Kashmir are afraid of visiting these places. On 23 December 2007, two Kashmiri youths who were selling woollen clothes, were killed allegedly in a fake encounter in the name of protecting the then chief minister. All these incidents compel us to believe that UP STF and UP police arrest innocent Muslim youths, torture them and collect false evidence which is a crime.

During the political noise over terror, Bajrang Dal workers lost their lives while fabricating a bomb in Kanpur’s Rajiv Nagar area in 2008. At the time, Sri Prakash Jaiswal, MOS Home, had said the a CBI enquiry should be ordered into this incident. The then chief minister Mayawati commented on this that the blasts in UP courts and the CRPF camp too should be probed by CBI. This shows clearly that no probes were ordered for all these blasts due to political complications.

Members of civil society and social activists demanded of the new Samjwadi party government to reciprocate the gesture of the Muslims support to the party by fulfilling the promise made to them in the party manifesto before the elections. They also demanded the immediate release of innocent Muslims and thereafter provide them with opportunities that can ensure them a dignified life after their release. Social activists also demanded proper investigation and action against all those policemen involved in the illegal arrests of innocent Muslims. (Translated from Hindi)

This is huge travesty of justice. I know very well what police did when Sana baji killed by RSS terrorists. They jailed our fathers side ((family name) and some Ansaris and threatened them to keep quiet. One guy in the jail said they threatened me also that if I speak they will charge me as terrorist. This is a travesty of justice. I will call Samaji party and call for all Ansaris to protest this. Its punishment for Ansaris maintaining links to us Pakistanis. Family bonds can't be broken still young generation refusing these ties for India and this is what is done to Ansaris. Very, very sad. Ansaris should demand proof of the allegation.

 

[KRAIT]

@haviZsultan You are giving your family as a defense towards this case.

Most of the Muslims are humble, peace loving but we do see few Muslims doing terrorist attacks around the world.

Dude I can give examples of not my family but hundreds of my relatives which will put Saffron terrorism word as a joke.

You are making strange points. All Purohits are peace living, but why didn't you ask for proof for Col. Purohit ? You accepted what Indian investigation agency said at face value.

I mean you guys are really so paranoid about Conspiracy theories. What's wrong with you guys ?

You are talking of proof, NIA don't nab people without proof. He will get his time in court just like Kasab had. So don't give these essays with your family story as a valid argument. Its was the same Indian System that proved those people were innocent. Why you ignore it. Court of Law in India is way better.

Kindly talk with rationality, not emotionality.

Roger Cohen once said, “Conspiracy theory is the ultimate refuge of the powerless. If you cannot change your own life, it must be that some greater force controls the world.” We Pakistanis have been in love with these conspiracy theories even before creation of this country, as we still believe it was British-Hindu conspiracy to give some of the Muslim-majority states to India

[haviZsultan]

I am not related to this guy as all Ansaris don't know all Ansaris. But I believe this needs to be investigated further. There are just way too many Ansaris being named in terrorism cases even though its the most secular of all families in India. This is basically punishment for Ansari's historical ties with Pakistan and voting for the Muslim League in the past. It is nothing more or nothing less. Even despite harassment younger Ansaris are willing to give India a chance and support it which I have also been frustrated with as they do not seem to want our support from families that moved but this is very wrong I believe. I will present the cases of dozen or so Ansaris that were found to be guilty for everything that went wrong in India.

Here is Zabiuddin Ansaris wife saying Zabi was innocent:
[video]www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQSiU97ETqo[/video]

Maybe he was more religious than average ansari but how is he being framed? Also if this guy is involved then it means the 10 attackers were not Pakistani. They spoke marathi as well and Qasab spoke Deccan dialect. No one in Pakistan speaks that, especially in a village in Punjab. all migrant families, all 40,000-200,000 Deccan families are now in Sindh not Punjab and 80% in Karachi or Hyderabad. This only weakens India's case but Pakistan isn't pointing the flaws. Our country's government should defend Ansaris and Firangi Mahal as Hasrat Mohani was from there and died there and it was used as baithak of Muslim League once. The fault is our country Pakistan's for not caring about the people left there which resulted in their isolation. They eventually were forced to call themselves Indian as having link to Pakistan only hurt them and Pakistan never defended their interests.

 

[KRAIT]

@haviZsultan Hope you will say same thing for RSS organization and BJP. Afterall you think since most of the Ansaris are good people, they can't be terrorists. Apply same logic for RSS and Hindus in general.

Problem with you guys is that you ask for more proofs and more investigation byt when it comes to Indians and Hindus, you don't use same logic.

Now you are defending Kasab whom your own govt. accepted. Entire world accepted. Even US said the same thing according to their intel. They are going to sentence David Headley who implicated Pakistanis and ex ISI officers. He also implicated LeT and JeM.

 

[Icewolf]

[MENTION=136430]You are talking of proof, NIA don't nab people without proof.

Just like how the NIA blamed the Mecca masjid bomb blasts on a group of traveling Muslim students

WITHOUT PROOF

And then it turned out to be a Hindu extremist

In the end, justice prevailed. Innocents got free and real culprits by caught by same country.

See, we deliver justice at better rate.

By the way NIA is the same agency that caught 10 ex RSS members.

What an absurd logic you came with!! Was Osama Bin Laden born in a rich family and well educated? We have seen well educated Young Men are falls for terrorism. Just because of a Surname a Terrorist won't be an Innocent and vice versa. By your logic, all Bin Ladens in the world are terrorist too. Jeez you are a Jr. TT!!
