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 .

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.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.

Mangaluru, June 27: The district health authorities are likely to conduct mass random testing for Covid-19 in Ullal town on the outskirts of the city in the wake of detection of several new coronavirus positive cases there in past couple few days.

Apart from Azad Nagar, covid-19 cases have surfaced in Kodi, Bangera Lane and in the surroundings of police station and Sahara Hospital triggering panic among people. Hence, the authorities are like to conduct random testing of auto rickshaw drivers, fishermen, street vendors among others. 

Meanwhile, several mosques in Ullal have reportedly decided to suspend congregational prayers temporarily.
