Terror suspect Abdul Basith, who was arrested earlier this week, has confessed to the police that he had downloaded terror-related material on his tablet computer.
The FIR booked by the Special Investigation Team of Hyderabad police stated “Basith confessed that he downloaded jihadi materials through the Internet on his tab.”
It said he had deleted the material due to the fear of the police, and left the tablet computer at home. The FIR disclosed that Basith, Omer Farooq and Maaz Hassan claimed that their uncle Syed Salahuddin, the former president of SIMI, was their “role model.” Salahuddin died in a road accident last year.
“They regularly held meetings at family functions and parties, and the last was at Nalgonda. Basith is the most aggressive out of the three and he indoctrinated Hassan and Farooq,” an investigation official said.
Police said that Basith, who led the trio, weighs only 46 kg. “It would have been really difficult for the trio to bear the cold in Kashmir. They couldn’t brave the cold wave in Adilabad where the temperature fell to 4 C,” an official said.
They had travelled on two bikes and reached Adilabad at 9 am. Because of the cold, they were not able to proceed further and kept the motorcycles with a mechanic, the officer said. “They are not physically strong, they have strong jihadi extremism ideology,” he said.
