Hyderabad: A man named Sheik Noor, belonging to Zaheerabad in Medak district, was instrumental in bringing the arrested HuJI helper Abdul Nasir to India from Bangladesh.
Noor, who now has a house at Okhla in New Delhi, left the city in June and escaped the police radar. Noor helped Nasir to cross the border in 2010 through an area at Hili in the Dakshin Dinajpur district of West Bengal. Since then, using those contacts, Nasir had been crossing the border illegally to help terror operatives.
During his first journey, Noor’s assistant Hashim, who is also a native of Zaheerabad, assisted Nasir throughout the way from Bangladesh, Nasir told the police.
Noor used to visit Bangladesh and help illegals to cross the border into India. With the help of Noor, Nasir also came in contact with the other two people named Babu and Kalam, who used to help him and other terror operatives to cross the border since 2011.
Nasir met HuJI operative Jabbar in the late 1990s in Pakistan when the latter was working in a Pakistani newspaper. Since then, Nasir has been assisting Jabbar, he told the police.
“In June 2013, I went to the Indo-Bangladesh border and received Jabbar. He stayed with me at my house in Panipat for a month. During his stay, we visited Agra and New Delhi. After that, I helped him to cross the border. While leaving he advised me to be in touch with HuJI operative Maulana Alim Ul Islam Mandal who was living in New Delhi,” said Nasir.
