Another member of outlawed outfit, Indian Mujahideen (IM), who was being tracked by the Nashik anti-terrorism squad (ATS), appears to have vanished. The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, came from Gujarat to Nashik just after the blasts and fled the town only a fortnight ago. Cops, however, are not sure whether he is linked to the 13/7 blasts.
Sources said this suspect had been in Gujarat for several months before shifting base to Nashik. “He took a cyber café on rent and was reportedly running his activities from there. The Nashik ATS was on his trail but he managed to give them a slip,” the source said. The suspect, also part of a sleeper cell, was acting as the owner of the cyber café and several people would come to meet him there. “The police were trying to verify from the list of his visitors if they were part of the Indian Mujahideen group. However, it was too late for them.”
Sources further said that two to three weeks ago, the suspect approached the cyber café owner to inform him that he was suffering losses and could not run it any longer. He took away the hard disc of a few computers.
Doc summoned
One of the suspected Pakistani nationals who stayed at Byculla had approached an eye specialist in Mazgaon area after an eye infection. The police summoned the doctor to record his statement and later let him to go. The police had found the doctor’s number while going through the Pakistani men’s cellphone records. TNN
