Terror suspect Suhail attended Qasmi's sermons, says his brother

My brother has been framed, he is innocent, says Soahil's brother.

Bengaluru: “Over the last year, Suhail used to go to Makkah Masjid in Illyaz Nagar every Friday regularly to listen to Syed Anzar Shah Qasmi’s bayyans (sermons) and this could be the reason he was picked up by the police,” said Mohammad Irshad, brother of Mohammad Suhail Ahmed (22).

“My brother has been framed. He is innocent. Our entire family members, ancestors or relatives have nobody in Pakistan,” said Tahira, Suhail's elder sister.

The family had shifted to the new house, located on the second floor house in Old Pension Mohalla off Mysore Road, a month ago.

“The police had gone to the old house on 4th cross Old Pension Mohalla, on Thursday and brought the old house owner's brother along to identify Suhail’s new house,” Tahira said.

“The police told us that they have got the main guy and Suhail was picked up as a suspect and will be left in 3-4 days.”

“The police also got our father Umar Farooq to sign on a folded paper, which he was not allowed to read its content,” said Mohammad Irshad.

“The police called us on Saturday morning and asked us to come and meet Suhail at the Madivala Forensic Science Laboratory, where the suspects were kept in detention as they were shifting him somewhere else,” said Zarina Begum, Suhail’s mother.

“They asked us to bring spare dresses, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush for my son,” she added. Suhail, who used to teach at the madarasa in Gowripalaya Jumma Masjid, was known to be a silent and introverted.

He used to polish gold and silver ornaments, revealed family members. Suhail is the third child of nine siblings (five sons and four daughters) for Umar Farooq and Zarina Begum.
