NEW DELHI: The four suspected Jaish-e-Mohammad militants arrested on Sunday night after an encounter with the Special Cell of the Delhi police near the Ranjit Singh flyover here planned to carry out blasts at busy market places here on Monday, police said. The three Kashmiri militants — Bashir Ahmed Ponnu, Fayaz Ahmed Lone and Abdul Majid Baba — purportedly said they were directed by Abu Haider, their handler and JeM district commander of Sopore in Kashmir, to hand over explosives to the Pakistani militant Shahid Gafoor.
Configuring IEDs
Gafoor told the police that he was asked to configure three improvised explosive devices (IED) and plant them at busy and prominent market places. Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Karnal Singh said that at Haider's instance, the three Kashmiri militants went to Kolkata in January second week to exchange $ 10,000 with counterfeit Indian currency notes worth Rs. 20 lakhs from a Bangladesh-based conduit. But the person did not turn up and they returned to the Valley. There they met Haider again. This time, Haider purportedly gave them the seized RDX explosive consignment, hand grenades, detonators and a timer to be delivered to Gafoor. But the Special Cell arrested them along with Gafoor after an encounter. Police saod, Gafoor arrived in Delhi on Sunday morning by Poorva Express to receive the RDX consignment and carry out the explosions. After executing the plan, the four were to escape to Kolkata where they were to set up base for further operations.
