The two terrorists of Rajasthan module of Indian Mujahidin (IM) busted by the Special Cell of Delhi Police has been sentenced to life imprisonment by Jaipur court.
The duo was nabbed under the supervision of the then Special Commissioner of Police, Special Cell, SN Shrivastava, who is now Delhi Police Commissioner.
In March 2014, the Special Cell in its endeavour to contain terrorism being sponsored from across the border, arrested Zia Ur Rehman, a Pakistani national, commonly known to anti-terrorist agencies in India by his alias ‘Waqas’.
This dreaded terrorist, exported by Pakistan based ISI and its protégé called Indian Mujahidin, was wanted in a series of bombings carried out all over India along with his absconding associates.
Pursuant to the arrest of Waqas, three more terrorists, members of Rajasthan module of Indian Mujahidin identified as Mohammad Mahruf, Mohammad Waqar Azhar and Shaquib Ansari were arrested.
The police team made huge recoveries including suspected explosive materials, detonators, electronic circuits and timers from their possession in Jaipur and Jodhpur. With this, a spectacular terrorist strike was averted. The Special Cell got registered cases under the Explosive Substances Act at Jaipur and Jodhpur regarding the recoveries made from the terrorists of the Rajasthan module of IM.
The initial arrests of founding members of Rajasthan Module of Indian Mujahidin by Special Cell led to the arrest of ten more terrorists by Rajasthan ATS. The busting of Rajasthan module of IM was done under the leadership and close supervision of S N Shrivastava, the CP and the then Special CP, Special Cell.
On March 31, a Jaipur Court concluded the trial of the case involving the Rajasthan Module of Indian Mujahiddin involving thirteen accused persons and sentenced all the accused persons except one to life imprisonment.
