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

April 7, 2016

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.

Varanasi, Feb 17: For the first time, the Indian Railways has reserved a seat for a deity on a train. The national transporter, which launched its third IRCTC operated train named Kashi Mahakal Express from Varanasi to Indore, has reserved a seat for Lord Mahakal (Lord Shiva) on board.

Speaking to media, Northern Railway spokesperson Deepak Kumar said: "It is for the first time that a seat has been left reserved for a deity."

"One seat in Kashi Mahakal Express (seat number 64 in B5 coach) has been left reserved for Lord Shiva," he said.

"Even a temple has been drawn on the seat to make people aware that the seat is reserved for Lord Mahakal," he said.

IRCTC's Director, Tourism, Rajni Hasija said that the practice would continue beyond the inaugural run.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the Kashi Mahakal Express via video conferencing from Varanasi, where he is all launched several projects worth Rs 1,250 crore during the day's visit to his parliamentary constituency.

The third IRCTC train, after the two Tejas Express trains on New Delhi-Lucknow and Mumbai-Ahmedabad routes, the Kashi Mahakal Express will connect three places -- Jyotirlinga-Omkareshwar (near Indore), Mahakaleshwar (Ujjain) and Kashi Vishwanath (at Varanasi).

Also connecting the industrial and educational hub of Indore, with Bhopal, the train will begin its commercial run from February 20.

"The Kashi Mahakal Express will operate three days in a week and it will be a bi-weekly service through the Sultanpur-Lucknow route and a weekly service via the Prayagraj route," Kumar said.

Elaborating on the two routes from which the train will pass every week, Hasija said: "Once the new train starts its regular run from this week, it will depart from Varanasi at 2.45 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday to reach Indore at 9.40 a.m. on Wednesday and Friday.

Similarly, the train will start from Indore at 10.55 a.m. every Wednesday and Friday and will reach Varanasi at 6.00 a.m. the next day. This train will have stoppages at Ujjain, Sant Hirdaram Nagar, Bina, Jhansi, Kanpur and Sultanpur stations in both directions.

Meanwhile, in the weekly service via Prayagraj route, the Kashi Mahakal Express will depart from Varanasi at 3.15 p.m. every Sunday to reach Indore at 9.40 a.m. the next day. On the other way, it will depart from Indore at 10.55 a.m. every Monday and reach Varanasi at 5 a.m. the next day.

"This train will halt at Ujjain, Sant Hirdaram Nagar, Bina, Jhansi, Kanpur and Allahabad stations in both directions," Kumar said.

Explaining the fares of the Kashi Mahakal Express, Hasija said, "Kashi Mahakal Express will follow a dynamic fare structure like the other two Tejas Express trains."

One-way journey from Varnasi to Indore will cost Rs 1,951, inclusive of four meals.

According to the IRCTC officials, the Indore-Varanasi Kashi Mahakal Express will be the first private train that will run overnight and for a comfortable long distance journey, will feature a host of facilities. The IRCTC will serve vegetarian food, and provide housekeeping services, on-board security services and bedrolls.

The IRCTC officials said that passengers will also get complementary insurance of Rs 10 lakh.

The train will have an advance reservation period of 120 days and will only have the general and foreign tourist quotas. The current booking will be available to the passengers on the platform itself after preparation of first chart, four hours to five minutes before the scheduled departure of the train.

To facilitate travel for pilgrims, the IRCTC is also introducing special tour packages for passengers who want to see the pilgrim centres enroute. The tour options are; Mahakal Darshan (Ujjain - Omkareshwar), Bhopal-Sanchi-Bhimbetka, Malwa Jyotrilinga Darshan (Ujjain-Omkareshwar- Maheshwar- Indore) and Bhopal-Sanchi-Bhimbetka-Ujjain. Other tour options include Kashi, Ayodhya and Prayag; Kashi Darshan; Kashi, Prayag, Ayodhya; Kashi and Prayag and only Kashi.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Thursday accused BS Yediyurappa-led state government of "failure" to protect the citizens from coronavirus, stating that Karnataka was suffering due to lack of co-ordination in the cabinet.

In a series of tweets, the JD(S) leader slammed the state government for wasting their time in giving out contradictory statements regarding COVID-19 figures instead of learning lessons from the Kerala government.

"It is shocking to see COVID-19 patients being turned down by the hospitals due to lack of beds. The government has failed in its duty to protect the citizens. The CM and his cabinet colleagues wasted precious time in mere talking for the last three months. As the escalated Covid numbers stare them in the face, they are now helpless," Kumaraswamy wrote.

"Even when you have a proven model in Kerala government's success in Covid management, the ministers waste time in issuing contradictory statements and doing nothing. Karnataka suffers due to lack of co-ordination in the cabinet," he said.

Urging the government to act together, he said that if the government does not get its act together, the day is not far when Covid patients would be "condemned to die on the streets."

We are already seeing heart-wrenching stories of patients denied treatment," he added.

Kumaraswamy also appealed to the Karnataka government to consider the suggestions he had made earlier and not to indulge in party politics in these testing times.

"I appeal to the government to consider the suggestions I made earlier and act accordingly. This is not the time for party politics."
