Delhi blast probe finds terror suspect operated multiple Faridabad hideouts near university
FARIDABAD: The Delhi blast investigation has revealed that Dr Muzammil Ganaie, one of the prime suspects arrested in connection with the alleged white-collar terror module linked to the 10 November terrorist incident, had maintained two additional hideouts near Al-Falah University, police sources have said. In addition to renting accommodation in Fatehpur Taga and Dhauj in Faridabad, Muzammil had taken a house on rent from the former sarpanch of Khori Jamalpur village on the pretext of starting a Kashmiri fruit business, as well as a small room built on a farmers land, the sources said. The accommodation, owned by Jumma Khan, comprised three bedrooms, a hall and a kitchen. It was located about 4 kilometres from Al-Falah University, where Muzammil worked and from where he was picked up by the J&K Police. He stayed at this house between April and July on a monthly rent of 8,000, according to the sources. The house was constructed above a plastic raw material factory also owned by Khan. J&K police raid sites linked to banned Jamaat-e-Islami amid crackdown on 'terror support ecosystem' A team from the NIA recently took Muzammil to the village as part of its Delhi blast probe. NIA officers questioned Khan for several hours during their visit. Sources said Jumma, during questioning, told officers that Muzammil had informed him he wanted to start a Kashmiri fruit business and needed space for it. However, after about three months, he vacated the house, claiming it was too hot. Jumma clarified that he had no prior connection with Muzammil and that their first meeting took place at Al-Falah Hospital, where Jummas nephew was undergoing cancer treatment. He had vacated my house after around three months. I never suspected that he was a terrorist, said Khan. The NIA probe also revealed that Muzammil had stored a substantial amount of explosive material for approximately 12 days in a room built on a piece of land belonging to a farmer. He later shifted the explosive material to a room in the house of cleric Ishtiyak in Fatehpur Taga village, sources said.

Bangladeshi youth used deceased mans 2002 SIR form to enter West Bengal's voters list
KOLKATA: A Bangladeshi national was arrested on Wednesday night by the West Bengal police on the charge of enrolling his name in the voters list by forging the enumeration form of a deceased person whose name had figured in the electoral rolls during the last Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in 2002 in the state. The incident took place at Mathurdangi under Ward 20 in Dankuni, Hooghly district, and prompted locals to hand over the Bangladeshi national to the nearby police station. Dankuni is hardly 30 km from the state secretariat, Nabanna. Mahasin Khan, a local resident whose name had appeared in the electoral rolls during the SIR in 2002, died in 2015. The Bangladeshi youth, Nadim, managed to buy Mahasins enumeration form, filled it and submitted it to the concerned Election Commission office in the area. He filled the form using Mahasins name. Maidul Khan, deceased Mahasins brother, came to know about the matter and raised an alarm among his neighbours, who caught Nadim on Wednesday night. Later in the night, the agitating neighbours informed the Dankuni police station. Maidul alleged that Nadim bought the form by paying several thousands of rupees and pasted his own photograph on it. Nadim has been residing in the area for the past 15 years and managed to get a voter ID card by paying Rs 4,000. Police sources said he has been arrested and will be produced before the court, where police custody will be sought for interrogation. Police have started a case to investigate how he bought the enumeration form and filled it using the name of the deceased person. Sources also said that some other people might have links with the accused. H Shabnam, chairman of the ruling Trinamool Congress-led Dankuni Municipality, was not available for comment.
