The special cell of Delhi police has arrested a person from Bihar who is deemed to be founder-member of the terror outfit Indian Mujahideen. He was brought to the city on transit remand on Friday and produced before a court here.

Police officials said the accused, identified as Mohd Tarique Anjuman, was apprehended from suburbs of Patna on Thursday evening and brought to Delhi where he was produced before chief metropolitan magistrate who remanded him in police custody for 15 days.
The accused is suspected of being involved in a number of blasts, including those in Delhi.
The special cell sources said Mohd Tarique Anjuman was an active member of the banned organisation SIMI since 1998 and later joined Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal to become one of the founder-members of Indian Mujahideen in 2003. “He will be being questioned by a joint team of central intelligence agencies and Delhi police to ascertain his involvement in certain terror cases. We believe he is one of the ideologues who used to motivate youth to join the terror outfit and provide them arms training,” said a source.
Police sources said Anjuman has been frequently visiting Bhatkal village in north Karnataka during last decade and his interrogation was necessary to bring to light the activities of Indian Mujahideen.
