The Delhi police has mentioned in its chargesheet that Indians joining Al Qaeda were moved by the Babri mosque demolition and 2002 Gujarat riots and were committed to establish a base of terror outfit Al Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).
The chargesheet revealing this shocking fact was filed against 17 accused having alleged links with AQIS. They have been chargesheeted for allegedly conspiring, recruiting Indian youth and establishing a base of AQIS
In its chargesheet filed before the court of additional sessions judge Ritesh Singh, the special cell of the Delhi police said for the purpose of jihad, some of them had gone to Pakistan and had met Jamat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) chief Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and several other terrorists.
“While delivering jihadi speeches in various mosques, he (arrested accused Syed Anzar Shah) met Mohammad Umar (one of the absconding accused) and they discussed atrocities on Muslims in India, especially Gujrat and Babri Masjid issues. Umar got impressed with his jihadi ideology and speeches and committed himself to the cause of jihad and expressed the desire to receive arms/ammunition training from Pakistan,” the chargesheet said. The police has said that Umar was operating from Pakistan.
The police said arrested accused Abdul Rehman had provided safe hideouts in India to Pakistani militants Salim, Mansoor and Sajjad, all members of Jaish-e-Mohammed, who were later killed in a shootout in Uttar Pradesh in 2001.
These three Pakistani militants had come to India to take revenge for the Babri Masjid demolition and had planned to attack Ram Mandir in Ayodhya but got killed, the chargesheet claimed.
The police named in its chargesheet 17 accused, 12 of whom are absconding, for allegedly conspiring, recruiting Indian youth and establishing a base of AQIS here.
