The absconding terror suspect, Viqar Ahmed alias Ali Khan, was in Mumbai on the day of the terror attack and as well as the previous day, police sources said.
Viqar had escaped an attempt by Counter Intelligence Cell cops to nab him in the city on Wednesday after shooting and injuring one of the unarmed constables in the team.
“We have analysed the cellphone calls he made to his friends from Mumbai and discovered that he was in Mumbai on the day of attack and the day before it,” said a senior police officer of the state anti-terror wing. “As of now, we have no other concrete links. We are waiting to get more information.” Sources said that Viqar also visited Lucknow two months ago and had also been spotted moving around Azamghar.
“Indian Mujahideen module has close contacts with activists in Azamghar,” said the police officer. “His visit to Lucknow and other areas in Uttar Pradesh has to be verified.” Meanwhile, the city commissioner of police, Mr B. Prasada Rao, said that Viqar was absconding and there was no breakthrough in the investigation. “We don’t want to share more information. Right now we have no such evidence linking him to Mumbai attacks.” Police are also questioning local people whom Viqar called up on Wednesday from an STD booth.
“He was trained in Bangladesh and had visited Oman and Qatar,” said the officer. “He had weapons and could have been on a terror mission,” he said.
