Mumbai: A call informing the police control room about the entry of three “terrorists” in the city turned out to be the fallout of a family fight. Soon after receiving the call, the state ATS, government railway police and special police force swung into action and detained the three “terrorists” at Bandra railway station.
ATS sources said an
unidentified caller informed the police that three “terrorists” —Afsar,
Mohsin and Waseem-—had boarded a train from New Delhi for Mumbai. The
caller said the trio would reach Mumbai on October 13 and provided their
description.
“With GRP’s help, we zeroed in on the suspects and
brought them to ATS’ Kalachowkie unit. According to an ATS source, on
interrogation, it was revealed that Afsar was Mohsin and Waseem’s stepfather. Afsar owns a bakery while the two brothers, Mohsin and Waseem, are carpenters. The trio reside in Mankhurd.
Waseem
and Mohsin have three sisters. Two years ago, their second sister,
Chaman (24), got married to an Uttarakhand native, Javed Ahmed. However,
Ahmed fell in love with Chaman’s younger sister, Shama (17). “On
October 1, Ahmed eloped with Shama and the two have been untraceable. Waseem,
Afsar and Mohsin went to Uttar Pradesh and Delhi to hunt for Shama and
Ahmed, but did not succeed. They were returning to Mumbai on October 12,
when the call was made to the police,” said a source. “After the
interrogation, we found that the three were innocent. Their statements
were recorded and we released them,” said a police source.
When
asked whether Ahmed could be behind this call, ATS chief Rakesh Maria
said, “We are exploring all the angles and the probe is still on.”
Cops
have traced the mobile number and have found that it has been
registered in the name of a vegetable vendor, Godavari Waghmare. “The
caller had somehow got hold of Waghmare’s documents and procured the SIM
card. It’s a serious offence and we are trying to track down the
culprit,” said a police source. The number is now non-operational.
