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.

Feb 3: Shine Shetty, who was last seen essaying the character of 'Chandu' in the popular daily soap 'Lakshmi Baramma', made a grand comeback to the small screen with Bigg Boss Kannada season 7 as one of the contestants. The actor went emotional after his name was announced by Sudeep as the winner. He thanked the host, his family and friends and the viewers as well for continuous support.

During his stay in the house, the actor had the privilege to become the captain of the house twice. He is also the only candidate who has earned 'Kicchana Chappale' (applaud of appraisal) the maximum number of times.

Shine has been in the headlines for his equation with other housemates. His growing friendship with Deepika Das has been creating a lot of buzz ever since the launch of the show. Shine has always shown interest in Deepika. He has always admired Deepika and was seen complimenting her style statements.

Shine Shetty's journey inside the Bigg Boss house is worth a mention. From showcasing his talents to giving his best shot in the tasks and activities, the actor was always on the forefront.

His friendly nature and care of his inmates can also never be missed.

Bigg Boss Kannada 7 kick-started on October 13th 2019 with Kiccha Sudeepa continued to host the show. The show, which returned to the small screen with 'only-celeb' format consisted of 18 primary contestants, who entered the house during the grand premiere of the season.

Within a short span, two wild card entrants made a surprise entry into the house. The show was surely a roller coaster ride with unexpected twists and entertained the viewers to the fullest.

Bengaluru, Apr 30: The Karnataka government on Thursday decided to allow migrant workers, tourists, students and others stranded in different parts of the state due to the ongoing lockdown to return to their native places, a day after the Centre issued guidelines for the process.

This will be a one-time movement and the government would arrange buses for those in need but they should bear the expenses, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J C Madhuswamy said. He also said people willing to return to the state would have to undergo tests for COVID-19. The decision was taken at the state cabinet meet and it might come into effect from Friday as the Chief Secretary will have to issue an official order, he said.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken decision on movement of people and the Centre had issued a circular in this regard. Following this we have decided to permit interstate and inter-district movement," he told reporters here.

Travel expenses should be borne by those willing to return and if they want the government can provide buses from the state transport corporations. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday issued orders allowing migrant workers, tourists, students and other people stranded in different parts of the country to move to their respective destinations with certain conditions, giving a big relief to the distressed people. Decision on opening of salons and liquor shops will be taken after May 3, he said.

Madhuswamy said permission would be given for one-time movement of labourers and others who want to go from one district to other for work or any other purpose. Those operating industry or establishment and want to move from place to place for management purpose will be given passes with strict scrutiny and through checks.

Responding to a question, the minister said, "we don't know yet how many are willing to go, where they will go, if some one asks for permission, we will permit." "One family or two or three people want to go, they can use taxi. If too many people want to go, we will provide facility through transport corporation buses," he said.
