Bhatkal man finally released; It's a case of mistaken identity', says NIA

Bhatkal, Apr 7: After a marathon interrogation the National Investigation Agency (NIA) released the Bhatkal youth who was detained at the Pune International Airport for alleged links with the Islamic State (IS) two days ago. A senior government official said that it was a case of mistaken identity.

interogationIsmail Musab bin Abdul Rawoof (34), a shoe salesman, was on way to board an Air India flight to Dubai on Tuesday morning when he was picked up by the security agencies at the airport.

Officials suspected that he was to travel to Syria from Dubai. However, after questioning him for two consecutive days in Mumbai, NIA found nothing suspicious and decided to release him.

The NIA made countrywide arrests in January this year and arrested 24 young men who allegedly wanted to establish an “IS-backed caliphate” in the country.

One of the main suspects, Mudabbir Sheikh, had allegedly received hawala money on two occasions to assemble Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and bombs to target places of importance, politicians and policemen. Investigators said during Sheikh's interrogation, the name of one “Rawoof” had surfaced.

“The person detained at the Pune airport also had Rawoof in his name and since he is from Bhatkal, from where a number of men have joined the Indian Mujahideen, the intelligence agencies could have mistaken him for a terror suspect,” the official said.

The government official said Ismail Musab got an Indian passport only in 2015 and he had many relatives and friends in Dubai. In fact Abdul Rawoof is Ismail Musab's father's name.

My son is innocent'

A resident of Darul Zakwan, Ayesha Masjid compound, Aminuddin road, Bhatkal, Abdul Rawoof maintained that his son is innocent and all charges levelled against him are false.

“My son, Ismail Musab, has studied only up to class eighth and he is computer illiterate. He carries a simple mobile phone, which does not have internet facility. How can he chat online with ISIS members? What is ISIS,” asks a helpless father.

Abdul Rawoof said that he received a call from Ismail at 1.10 am on Wednesday. “He told me that he was detained by the immigration officials at the Pune International Airport after they found a meat dish in his hand baggage and they wanted to test it as they suspected that it could be beef and beef is banned in Maharashtra. He said that he would go to Mumbai,” said an emotionally charged parent, prior to the release of their son.

He said that on Tuesday evening, two policemen came to their residence in Darul Zakwan, Ayesha Masjid compound, Aminuddin Road to inquire if Ismail was his son. “I told them that he was my eldest son and that he had gone to Dubai to look for a job,” said Rawoof.

Ismail is married and has two children. “He doesn't live with us, but visits us very often. He had gone to Dubai before he got married. He wanted to try his luck again there,” he said.

When asked why Ismail went to Pune to board a flight to Dubai, his father said that the airfares from Bengaluru and Mangaluru were more expensive than from Pune and he decided to fly from Pune.

“He had taken a bus to Pune on Monday (April 4). I saw him off. My son is innocent. He has not done any wrong,” said Rawoof, rubbishing the claim that Ismail was planning to go to Syria.

“Ismail is the eldest of the four children. He was working in Dubai as a labourer and had returned to Bhatkal for his marriage. He wanted to return to Dubai for a better income,” said a local resident.

Mr Bopanna..... do not mislead and tell lies with your poor knowledge..In Q there is no verse like 9.48.57..... it can be 9.48 OR 9.57... For your information how the verses are quoted in Q

9.48 says Assuredly, they sought to stir up sedition before, and tried to turn things upside down to frustrate to you, until the truth came and Gods decree was made evident, however hateful this was to them.

9.57 says If they could but find a place of refuge , or any cavern,or any place to creep in to hide in, they would turn about and make a bolt for it..

When the real verses are saying like this, then where did you find 9.48 57 and killing ????? in Ramayana or Mahabharatha ?????

Bopanna it is for sure there is messages regarding violence in Quran because it's a complete book of life. It teaches us what to do in case of wars and fithnaas, in the battle field any modern military general will order to kill their enemy. But in Quran every times when it deals with violence Allah says if enemy needs peace stop your war and rescue them to place of safety. In mahabaratha it says many times to kill your cousins. It doesn't mean everyone should kill their cousines , it means in battle field if you find even your cousines in enemy side to kill.
Hope you get my point .

Mr Bopanna, you do not know how to write Chapter # and Sura #, and you are claiming that you know Q very well.... Instead of writing wrong numbers, why cant you quote , what you have read in Q, and let the readers also know your understandings..... Best wishes... But do not try to cheat the readers with wrong numbers...

If the name \Rawoof\" was the reason for the arrest, they should have arrested his father not him because his name is ISMAIL MUSAB and his father's name is ABDUL RAWOOF.

Kannur, Jan 23: A member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been arrested for attempting to create unrest in Kerala by hurling crude bombs at RSS office and police picket. The miscreants had reportedly planned to pass the blame on others.

The bomb attack took place of January 16 in Kerala’s Kannur. The accused Prabesh, an RSS hardliner, was arrested from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

According to the Kerala police Prabesh hurled steel bombs towards the police picket in front of Kathirur Manoj Smrithi Kendram, an RSS office.

"He threw bombs during the wee hours of January 16 morning. Following the arrest he has confessed that his aim was RSS office. Kannur, being politically sensitive region, any attack on political party offices will be regarded as an act by the opponent," Kathirur SI Nijeesh said.

"We had a police picket in the region for a few months now. We are assuming he wanted to create unrest in the area by removing the police from the spot. We could contain the situation because of the CCTV visuals. He was identified immediately after the incident. Following the attack he went to Coimbatore and was hiding there. Our team nabbed him from Coimbatore," he said.

The police have also said that the accused Prabesh had many criminal cases pending against him including those under Explosive Substances Act, 1883. He was nabbed by a team lead by Kathirur SI Nijeesh, CPO Rohith and Vijeesh.

The RSS office in the region is named after Kathirur Manoj a senior karyakarta (worker) who was allegedly killed by the CPI(M) activists in 2014. Kathirur Manoj was the prime accused in the attempt to murder of senior CPI(M) leader P Jayarajan in 1999.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: Deputy Chief Minister Dr.CN Ashwathnarayan instructed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner Manjunatha Prasad to set up a separate high-level committee to ascertain the exact cause of coronavirus-related deaths in the state.

He spoke to reporters after a meeting with Prasad on Tuesday.

"The committee, headed by senior officials will audit the reason for the increase in death cases. Has there been a death due to treatment delay? Or are there any shortcomings in the treatment process?" the deputy chief minister said.

He pointed out that based on the report, the committee should try to correct the deficiency and reduce the death rate.

"How many beds are in which hospital? How many patients are on a ventilator? How many have gone home from the hospital? Etc. All information needs to be updated online at the moment. He suggested that this information should be made available to the public online," Ashwaththanarayana said.

Stating that some hospitals are not giving details about the number of beds correctly, he instructed the commissioners to take legal action if differences in their data are found.

He said that there is a shortage of ASHA workers in the city and it needs to be hired immediately.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 74,477 active COVID-19 cases in Karnataka and the death toll in the state is at 2,594.
