Delhi police arrest suspected IM operative from Saharanpur

The special cell of the Delhi police have arrested a suspected Indian Mujahideen from Saharanpur Uttar Pradesh.

According to NDTV, the IM operative has been identified as Ejaz Sheikh and is a tech expert for the group. According to the channel, Sheikh, who worked at a call center in Pune, allegedly helped IM operatives with fake identity cards and forged documents.

Times Now said he was part of the Pune module and is thought to have been involved in a number of IM attacks including the Jamma Masjid blast in Delhi. He is believed to have joined the terror group in 2009.

Police have said that his arrest from Saharanpur may indicate that the Indian Mujahideen were planning a strike in the region.

Uttar Pradesh has seen a number of communally charged incidents in the recent past.

The arrest also comes in the wake of an announcement by terrorist group al Qaeda that it has expanded its operations into the Indian sub continent.

The Delhi police special cell is expected to have a briefing regarding the arrest later today. Sheikh will be produced before a magistrate in a while from now.
