BHOPAL: Delhi Police special cell on Wednesday took alleged state chief of Student's Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) Abu Faisal in custody. He has been taken to Delhi for interrogation on his suspected links with Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas, a Pakistani national and Indian Mujahideen member who was arrested last month from Ajmer.

It is alleged Abu developed contacts with Waqas in Munnar, Kerala, where Waqas lived in hiding, disguised as a Maharashtrian named Nabil Ahmad in 2013.

While in Kerala, Waqas faced financial problems and received money through Western Union money transfer. Delhi Police suspect Abu Faisal pumped funds in Waqas's account.

Delhi Police team arrested Waqas from Ajmer along with three other IM operatives from Jaipur and Jodhpur last month. He is an expert in making IEDs who was reportedly trained at a Lashkar camp in FATA, Pakistan.

According to Delhi Police sources, after entering India in September 2010, Waqas was active in various terrorist operations, including Jama Masjid shootout of September 2010, Varanasi blast in December 2010, Zaveri Bazar serial blasts in Mumbai in July 2011, Pune blasts in August, 2012 and Hyderabad blasts in February 2013.

Serial blasts at BJP's Patna rally have also been linked to Waqas, who according to intelligence sources, was planning big strikes during Lok Sabha elections with the help of local IM modules.

Abu was introduced to Waqas by alleged IM's operational chief in the country, Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu. Tehseen was arrested from Naxalbari in Darjeeling district of West Bengal three days after Waqas's arrest.

Tehseen, whose name figured in several bomb attacks in recent years, including blasts in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Varanasi, is believed to have taken over the IM operations after the arrest of its co-founder Yasin Bhatkal last August.

However, Waqas and Tehseen do not figure anywhere in the Abu Faisal's interrogation report prepared by Madhya Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS). Faisal alias 'Doctor' was re-arrested by the state anti-terrorist squad from Barwani district after his escape from Khandwa prison with six others on October 2.

Recently, he was taken on transit remand by National Investigation Agency (NIA) for interrogation in connection with different terror attacks.

According to sources in state ATS, Faisal has not approached any advocate for help in filing his bail application. When his father came to meet him at Bhopal jail, he said he would come clean.
