The fugitive IM operative Afzal Usmani ,who fled from the custody of Maharashtra Taloja jail, while being escorted by the police from Taloja jail to the sessions court in Mumbai, one month ago on September 20. Usmani was a dreaded Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative and involved in many cases.
On Sunday, a month after he fled from the sessions court in Mumbai, Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) officers arrested him from the Indo-Nepal border.The officers got a tip-off that Usmani had changed his look to avoid being recognised and was planning to cross over to Nepal.
DCP, Pradeep Sawant said, “We nabbed him around 3.30pm on Sunday from outside Rupaidiha railway station which is on the Nepal border,” .
The officer further revealed,“Usmani had plans to settle down in Nepal using a fake identity. We are now investigating if Usmani was in touch with any of the wanted IM operatives since he fled from jail. We will get details of the people he met during this period. We suspect that he was being helped by someone from the IM".
INDIA HONEST surprises : a) how such a dreaded IM operative could escape from the custody of special police team, who handles such escorting task with maximum alertness and care? Was he allowed to escape ?
b) how one known terrorist, closely known in Mumbai area, could remain hiding for one month, even when so much intelligence available on him and his relations and associates ?
c) what a coincidence, he was nabbed immediately after the Patna blast from Bihar only? Is it really a coincidence that he was nabbed a few hours after the bomb blasts, that is to suggest, he was captured after the completion of his given or planned task of bomb blasting ?
d)Was he fool enough to plan escape to Nepal, on a day and time, when there was maximum general alert due such a big rally in Patna ?
e) even if one assume that he planned to escape,when lot of person are moving for rally and but is it possible that he missed the news of blasts at least six hours earlier, and lot of investigating agencies searching every escape routes for those terrorist ?
f) such a talented terror operative will make so silly mistakes of approaching border at that hour, this story is not digest-able.
It creates the biggest doubt : he was captured only after he had completed his given task.
