Key man of ISI operation in police net:
Guwahati, Dec 15: The Special Branch of the Assam Police on Saturday produced before the media the key man of the Pakistan based Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) operating in Assam and other parts of the Northeastern region.
Identified as SM Alam alias Mojibullah Alam alias Asfi Alam was arrested by members of the Special Operation unit of the Special Branch from a place in the city.
The Special Branch sleuths hopes that detailed interrogation would give vital inputs regarding the ISI’s activities in the region.
Giving the details of the Alam, IGP (SB) Khagen Sarma said that the hardcore ISI operative hails from Azampur village near Dhaka in Bangladesh and added that he was working with Jamaat-e-Islami.
“Alam joined Harkat-Ul-Mujahadeen, a Pakistan based jehadi outfit in 1993 and underwent training at the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK),” said Sarma while adding that he had joined Jamatul Mujahideen activist in Bangladesh.
“Alam had been staying in Assam since 2006 and he has been looking after all the operational matters of the ISI in Assam and other parts of the region,” said Sarma.
The intelligence chief termed the arrest as a good catch and hoped that inter-rogation would yield in vital information regarding the ISI activities in the whole region including its links with the militant outfit of the region.
The history of the ISI activities in Assam and other parts of the region is not new.
In 2005 the city police had arrested one Hanif Khan from a city hotel for his alleged links with the ISI. Khan was a retired Indian Air Force personnel.
A five-member team of police went to Uttar Pradesh after Hanif Khan gave some specific information about the ISI operating in the country and the four other persons -- Mohd Latif Khan (31), Mohd Yamin Khan (38), Kiran Chandra (46) and Rani alias Jogarani (50), were arrested from Goutam Budha Nagar in Uttar Pradesh.
Three days after Khan was arrested, police had also arrested his son Javed Khan, working in the capacity of Lance Naik with the 18 Grenadier brigade under the Army’s 4 Corp. based in Tezpur.
Sources informed that Javed used to procure the classified information about the movement of the armed forces in the region and hand those over to his father, who in turn used to pass those on to the ISI through various channels.
