Written by Rahul Tripathi | Updated: January 24 2018 7:45 am Abdul Subhan Qureshi alias Touqeer in custody on Monday. (Express Photo/Praveen Khanna) Abdul Subhan Qureshi alias Touqeer whose arrest police announced Monday figured in every major blast starting 2007. Touqeer was for a time suspected to be the author of the signature email claims that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) made. He was subsequently found to be more identifiable with the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) than with the IM but the lines between the organisations were always blurred. IM was alleged to be recruiting from SIMI Haider Ali named in the 2013 Patna and Bodh Gaya terror attacks was one such recruit and several bomb blasts have been attributed to the IM/SIMI . The Beginnings When it was born in Karnataka s Bhatkal in 2000 the IM was Usaba Arabic for congregation. Its members came from Karnataka Maharashtra Andhra; its main objective was allegedly to bring together people who were committed to waging holy war against non-Muslims and the Indian state. As Usaba was growing in South India a programme engineer from Azamgarh called Mohammed Sadiq Sheikh recruited Arif Badaruddin Sheikh and Dr Shahnawaz and sent them to Pakistan via Dubai for terror training. Sadiq was arrested by Mumbai Police in 2008. The two groups were joined by Riyaz Bhatkal and his brother Iqbal. The IM s first strike was against the American Center in Kolkata in 2002 even though it was not yet known by that name. The attack was allegedly masterminded by Amir Reza Khan and Aftab Ansari to avenge Amir s brother Asif Reza Khan who had been killed by police in Gujarat the previous year. Also in 2002 Amir Reza and Riyaz recruited Sadiq Sheikh and sent him for training to Pakistan. Investigators say the IM grew out of the Asif Reza Commando Force (ARCF) a shadowy offshoot of the Harkatul Jihad-e-Islami (HuJI) of Bangladesh. Amir Reza Khan Iqbal Bhatkal and Riyaz Bhatkal are said to be the founder members of the IM. Indian intelligence agencies believe they were backed and guided by the HuJI-B and Lashkar-e-Taiba who helped them build a small but highly effective cadre of home grown jihadists. The IM s initial recruits were prosperous but socially conservative urban middle-class Muslims from Bhatkal and Azamgarh. Between 2003 and 2005 IM operatives used milks cans as IEDs. These bombs were first planted at Varanasi s Dashashwamedh Ghat on February 23 2005 allegedly by Dr Shahnawaz and Arif. Only one of the two bombs exploded. Subsequently Atif Ameen who was to be killed in the 2008 Batla House encounter allegedly planted a suitcase bomb on the Shramjeevi Express in July 2005. The blast at Jaunpur killed 13 and injured 50. Read | Abdul Subhan Qureshi: Techie to terror and blasts suspect The IM s Emails The IM announced itself through an email to the media sent immediately after the November 2007 blasts in courts at Lucknow Faizabad and Varanasi. A suitable name had still not been fully decided for the outfit. When the email was sent claiming the Uttar Pradesh court blasts the term Indian Mujahideen mentioned in the email was picked up instantly by the media. The new nomenclature of IM was liked by the operatives and thus used in the subsequent emails along with a designed logo the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said in a supplementary chargesheet filed in February 2014. In subsequent emails the IM claimed responsibility for the 2005 Diwali blasts in Delhi the 2006 Mumbai train blasts and the 2007 Varanasi and Hyderabad blasts. Until then investigators had said these blasts had been carried out by Pakistan-based terror groups. The emails cited the Babri demolition of 1992 the Gujarat riots of 2002 and the perceived injustice to Muslims at large as the reason for their action. Investigators were initially dismissive but gave credence to an email that came on May 13 2008 owning responsibility for the Jaipur blasts. This email too referred to Babri and Gujarat but it was better drafted described the IM as an organisation with three wings and contained pictures showing the number of the bicycle on which one of the IEDs had been planted. An email came just before the Ahmedabad blasts of July 26 2008. It was well drafted had a logo attached and was captioned THE RISE OF JIHAD REVENGE OF GUJARAT . Read | Abdul Subhan Qureshi arrested: 14 rounds exchanged in encounter say police The IED Signatures The IM s improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used ammonium nitrate and SAMAY/LOTUS branded clocks as timers. The gelatin rods used in Patna and Ranchi were of Rajpower 90 . The detonators came from Andhra Pradesh Explosives Ltd and Rajasthan Explosives and Chemicals Ltd. From milk cans the group began to pack explosives in suitcases tiffin boxes and pressure cookers. From boat-shaped to elbow pipe the bombs became more sophisticated and contained more ammunition. In Patna and Ranchi not much damage was caused but the IEDs demonstrated the ability to carry out multiple strikes with relative ease. In the 2012 Pune blasts the bombs were equipped with three detonators instead of the standard two an indication investigators say that they were built by newer bombmakers. Abdul Subhan Qureshi was an alleged mastermind in the 2008 serial blasts in Gujarat. Faces Revealed The identities of IM operatives were unknown until September 19 2008 when the Batla House encounter took place. Atif Ameen and Mohammed (Chhota) Sajid were killed. The breakthrough led to a large number of arrests in Delhi Mumbai and elsewhere and the involvement of the IM was revealed in blasts going back to February 2005. The Batla House encounter is thought to have broken the back of IM operations in India sending most of its top leadership including Riyaz and Iqbal underground. A year after the arrests Mohammed Ahmed Siddibapa alias Yasin Bhatkal was put in charge of the IM by Riyaz. Yasin allegedly established the IM s so-called Darbhanga Delhi and Ranchi modules and was responsible for a series of attacks including the German Bakery blast the Delhi Jama Masjid shooting and the Varanasi blast (all in 2010) the 2011 Mumbai bombings and the 2013 Hyderabad blasts. Yasin was arrested from Nepal in 2013 along with another IM operative Asadulla Akhtar. His interrogation led to the identification of several top IM operatives. Al-Qaeda Taliban ISIS According to the NIA after leaving India Riyaz made efforts to collaborate with al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Al-Qaida tasked Riyaz to work towards the given tasks of kidnapping of Jews and for making network in Burma for commission of terrorist activities there During his stay at Pakistan the accused also formed association with a group of Rohingya Muslims engaged in terrorist activities the chargesheet states. Also the NIA said The ISI wants to fully control the activities of the IM operatives and wants to ensure that their work is totally on its directions An IM group headed by Maulana Abdul Khalid Sultan Armar and his younger brother Shafi Armar launched the Ansar-ul-Tawhid (AuT) in Afghanistan which owed allegiance to the Islamic State. AuT propaganda videos Lions of the Hind and Kandahar se Dilli ki taraf were posted on YouTube in 2013. While Sultan Armar is believed to have been killed in a drone attack Shafi Armar migrated to Syria as an ISIS recruiter and has been listed as a globally designated terrorist by the United States. Shafi Armar is the main suspect in the 2014 Church Street blast in Bengaluru for which a former SIMI ideologue Alamjeb Afridi was arrested in 2016. Alleged Operatives Riyaz Bhatkal Co-founder of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) and currently the leader of the group; Riyaz Ahmad Shahbandri alias Riyaz Bhatkal is said to be dividing his time between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. An Interpol Red Corner Notice has been issued against him. NIA has announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for him. Status: Absconding Amir Reza Khan On the run for more than a decade Amir Reza Khan is described as a key founder of the IM. He is the younger brother of Asif Reza Khan the man after whom the Asif Reza Commando Force a shadowy collaboration between terrorism and organised crime was named. The ARCF was behind the 2002 American Center attack in Kolkata. Amir Reza Khan is believed to be living in Pakistan under the ISI s protection. Status: Absconding Iqbal Bhatkal The brother of Riyaz Iqbal too is believed to be in Pakistan. He has reportedly married a Pakistani woman and has now largely distanced himself from the IM s activities.

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police has arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) co-founder Abdul Subhan Qureshi one of the most wanted terrorists in the country for masterminding the 2008 Gujarat blasts. DCP Pramod Kushwaha confirmed the same and said that Qureshi who had gone underground for the last several years had returned to India to meet an old acquaintance in Ghazipur. Abdul Subhan Qureshi was living with forged documents in Nepal. He came back to India to revive Indian Mujahideen DCP Kushwaha told mediapersons at a press conference here on Monday on Saturday. Teams of the Special Cell and other intelligence agencies followed Qureshi 46 and nabbed him after a brief exchange of fire. He was then presented before a court and sent to police remand for 14 days DCP Kushwaha said. The hunt for Qureshi began a day after 21 bomb blasts ripped through Ahmedabad on July 26 2008. His name was first announced as a suspect by the Gujarat police in connection with an email signed by al-Arabi of Indian Mujahideen claiming responsibility for the bombings which was sent to TV channels. Qureshi alias Tauqeer is also wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection to terror attacks in Delhi Bengaluru and the 2006 Mumbai local train bombings. The Gujarat ATS and Ahmedabad crime branch are in touch with Delhi special cell officials in light of the dreaded terror suspect s arrest. Dubbed India s Bin Laden Qureshi is an expert in the art of changing his appearance which helped him give the slip to cops on a number of occasions senior intelligence officers conjecture. Qureshi is also referred to as a techie-bomber as he is said to be a bomb expert and had worked at top Indian IT companies located in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. It is believed that he was recruited by SIMI in 1998 and then went on to establish the Indian Mujahideen. (Further details awaited)
The arrest of Abdul Subhan Qureshi alias Tauqeer by Delhi police suspected of involvement in the serial blasts in Gujarat and Delhi in 2008 is likely to throw light on grey areas and answer several questions related to the myth and misconceptions around the home grown terror outfit Indian Mujahideen. Qureshi s arrest is being considered a very big catch by the police as well as the intelligence agencies. No one not even his family members could ever imagine from the resignation letter that Qureshi had given to his employer in March 2001 stating I wish to inform you that I have decided to devote one complete year to pursue religious and spiritual matters that this would be the beginning of the journey of one the most wanted terrorists in India. The computer engineer-turned-alleged terrorist was born in a small place called Rampur near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. He moved to Mumbai with his parents as a child studied there obtained a diploma in Industrial Electronics worked in a couple of software companies and then vanished one fine morning. File image of Indian Mujahideen Abdul Subhan Qureshi. Video screengrab His name resurfaced in 2008 in serial blast cases due to emails sent by Indian Mujahideen operatives and he soon acquired the sobriquet India s Osama bin Laden. His is a story of metamorphosis of a quiet Mumbai boy who turned into one of the dreaded terrorists an enigma of sorts who carried a bounty of Rs 4 lakh on his head. It s a good catch by Delhi police. A thorough interrogation of Abdul Subhan Qureshi may lead to several links his nexus with other terror outfits and modules. It will also give an insight of the Indian Mujahideen s operations. The network of Islamic terrorist organisations is fast spreading across the country. I m told that the People Front of India (PFI) which was limited to Kerala has now reached Jharkhand and a few other states Prakash Singh former DGP Uttar Pradesh and former Border Security Force chief told Firstpost. Given the present situation there s an urgent need to strengthen our internal security to keep our house in order Singh added. The investigating agencies are trying to find out how an urban-educated youth from Mumbai got indoctrinated. Qureshi a Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) activist reportedly held the top rank in SIMI after the arrest of its general secretary Safdar Nagori from Indore in Madhya Pradesh in March 2008. Counter-terrorism analyst Anil Kamboj said Qureshi s arrest is one of the biggest catches in recent times. The intelligence agencies had been on a look-out for him even before the Gujarat blast. Besides his operations Qureshi s interrogations may give more clarity to this indigenous Indian Mujahideen module its organisational structure rank and file its functioning sources of funding to Indian Mujahideen arms supply etc. It won t be surprising that he may be having connections with Pakistan-based terrorist organisations. The Indian Mujahideen network announced its presence to the public through media in 2007 as an indigenous Islamist militant force which emphasized on getting its cadre from local Muslim population rather depending on foreign recruits. According to investigators Indian Mujahideen is one of the many groups formed by recruiting lower-tier SIMI members. The government banned Indian Mujahideen after declaring it a terrorist organisation in June 2010. However investigating agencies had also been questioned on the very existence of Indian Mujahideen. Both police and agencies had been after him for a long time and he gave slip to all. Tauqeer is the co-founder of Indian Mujahideen. His arrest is likely to provide answers to several unanswered questions several missing links and his role in Indian Mujahideen including the very existence of Indian Mujahideen outfit. He had been in the Gulf between 2015 and 2017 and also in Nepal. He came back to India to revive the outfit in several parts like MP Maharashtra Gujarat Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka which has been lying dormant for some time an intelligence agency official who tracked the Indian Mujahideen almost for a decade told Firstpost on condition of anonymity. He is an expert bomb-maker and a bomber as well. I m quite hopeful that interrogations will reveal his role in several bomb blasts in the past modus operandi his network and connections with other terror outfits both in India and abroad the official added. Here are a few incidents when Indian Mujahideen claimed bomb blasts across India: 2006: Mumbai blasts 2006 2007: Twin bombings in Hyderabad and Uttar Pradesh bombings. 2008: Serial blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad. 2008: On 13 September Delhi bombings. 2010: Bomb blast at German Bakery in Pune and Sheetla Ghat Varanasi. 2011: Three simultaneous bombings in Mumbai. 2012: Serial blasts in Pune and one in Hyderabad. 2013: Bodh Gaya blasts. The investigators believe that the interrogations of Qureshi by various agencies may also provide definitive answers on whether Indian Mujahideen single-handedly carried the blasts or along with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and/or with any other terror organizations at few locations. Of the above mentioned incidents of attacks Indian Mujahideen reportedly claimed a few of them by sending emails. Only proper investigation will reveal the truth.
A Delhi court on Tuesday framed conspiracy and other terrorism-related charges against Indian Mujahideen operative Yasin Bhatkal and eight others for allegedly setting up an illegal arms factory in the national Capital PTI reported. The charges were framed under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.Apart from Bhatkal the court charged other alleged Indian Mujahideen members Zia-Ur- Rehman Tehsin Akhtar Mohammad Waqar Azhar Mohammad Maroof Mohammad Saquib Ansari Imteyaz Alam and Aijaz Shaikh. The court said the next hearing would be held on March 7.A court framed charges against Bhatkal and nine other accused in August 2017 in the 2010 Jama Masjid blast case. On September 19 2010 two motorists had shot at tourists near Jama Masjid in Old Delhi. There was also an explosion from a bomb placed in a car nearby. Two Taiwanese nationals were injured in the incident.Extremist group Indian Mujahideen had claimed responsibility for several attacks in the country including the 2008 Ahmedabad blasts the 2008 Delhi bombings and the Bodh Gaya blasts in 2013.
The Indian Mujahideen has hit the headlines again with the arrest of Abdul Subhan Qureshi by the Delhi Police from the Ghazipur area. The police claimed that Qureshi was trying to revive the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the Indian Mujahideen which have been lying dormant for some time. His arrest is being considered a breakthrough by security agencies as he is a prime accused in several high-profile bomb blasts that took place in last one decade. However the greater challenge will be to make him reveal all vital details about Indian Mujahideen s network of terror in India as well as to get him convicted in court. Indian Mujahideen is one of those terror groups formed by recruiting lower-level SIMI cadres. In fact the lines between both the outfits have remained blurred. The Indian Mujahideen claimed itself as an indigenous Islamist group which emphasised on getting its cadre from local Muslims. Indian Mujahideen first shot into notoriety when it carried out the 2008 serial blasts in Ahmedabad which remain the biggest and boldest attack to date by the terror outfit. File image of Abdul Subhan Qureshi. News18 The organisational antecedent of SIMI as well as Indian Mujahideen is Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) an Islamist revivalist party founded by Maulana Mawdudi who was also a great intellectual inspiration to Pakistani dictator General Zia ul Haq. After India s bloody partition JeI split into two independent wings with Mawdudi becoming chief of JeI s Pakistani wing. JeI is also the parent organisation of Hizbul Mujahideen one of the leading terror organisations involved in terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. JeI maintains regional links to Islamist radicals. For instance Gulbuddin Hekmatyar the head of Hezb-e-Islami group was originally a member of the Afghanistan branch of JeI. The SIMI believed that in a pluralist and secular society like India Muslims cannot lead their lives in accordance with Islamic principles. Hence an organised struggle to set up the Islamic state is an essential duty for each Muslim. Moreover increasing communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims during 1990s coupled with the demolition of disputed Babri Masjid were equally significant drivers in SIMI s evolution towards supporting the cause of violent jihad. In fact many emails sent by the Indian Mujahideen for taking responsibilities for terror attacked cited the Babri demolition and the 2002 Gujarat riots as the reason for their action. What is particularly troublesome is that despite a ban on SIMI in 2001 the organisation continued to operate in some form or the other for more than half a decade before giving birth to the Indian Mujahideen. Another worrying aspect is that most of the operatives recruited by Indian Mujahideen are having good educational background and only a few of them are actually influenced by Mawdudi s hardline views or Wahhabist ideology. There are several versions of how the Indian Mujahideen was formed including a belief that it grew out of the Asif Reza Commando Force (ARCF) which is known for a terror attack on the American Centre in Kolkata in January 2002. But to cut the long story short the Indian Mujahideen took a concrete shape when SIMI figures Mohammed Sadiq Ishrar Sheikh Riyaz Bhatkal and his brother Iqbal Bhatkal came together with Amir Reza Khan and Abdul Subhan Qureshi. The Indian Mujahideen founders were also guided in their endeavours by Bangladesh-based Harkatul Jihad-e-Islami (HuJI) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) who helped them build a highly effective cadre of home-grown jihadists. That is how a dangerous journey of recruiting disgruntled unemployed Muslim Indian youth into waging holy war against non-Muslims and the Indian state began. After key operatives of the Indian Mujahideen were arrested by police the founder members Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal were forced to escape to Pakistan along with a bunch of other Indian Mujahideen operatives in 2009. The Indian government declared the Indian Mujahideen as a terrorist organisation in June 2010. While placing the Indian Mujahideen on the list of foreign terrorist organisations the US State Department acknowledged that it had engaged in several terror attacks in India and was engaged in the creation of an Islamic caliphate across South Asia. Bhatkal brothers attempted to revive the organisation again but could not gain much success. An internal disagreement between Bhatkal brothers and a faction led by Mirza Ali Baig saw a defection from the ranks of Indian Mujahideen. In a major breakthrough in August 2013 Yasin Bhatkal one of the co-founders of Indian Mujahideen was arrested by by the police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) near the Indo-Nepal border. Again in March 2014 the Special Cell of the Delhi Police made arrests of four Indian Mujahideen members. The same year another Indian Mujahideen operative was arrested in September from Saharanpur. It should not be forgotten that many members and cadres of Indian Mujahideen are still at large. They are now working in tandem with like-minded jihadist outfits to revive the Indian Mujahideen s network of terror in India. Although the Islamic State has been neutralised in Iraq-Syria region the radical jihadist ideology will continue to inspire jihadists around the world. There is no doubt that al Qaeda and Islamic State are grounded on different ideologies but India-centred terrorist groups are known to mutate for tactical gains. The SIMI or Indian Mujahideen remnants are classic example of this phenomenon; they first got linked with al-Qaeda but later mutated to join the Islamic State. Therefore India s law enforcement and intelligence agencies need to remain extra cautious and take proactive measures to prevent them from succeeding in their plans. Politically speaking the strengthening of democratic institutions and processes against all communal forces in the country is equally important. Moreover there have been instances where the police did not carry out investigations in a proper manner. In the fight against religious extremism and terrorism the police cannot afford to be seen acting in a prejudicial manner. There is an urgent need for police to properly investigate terror cases and not come up with tailor-made accusations.
