Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD: An alleged operative of the Laskhar-e-Taiba, Azad Ahmed Qureshi, was arrested at Madanapalle in Chittoor district on Tuesday.
On a tip-off from Central agencies, the Chittoor police picked up Qureshi and he was remanded to judicial custody. Superintendent of Police T.V. Shashidhar Reddy told The Hindu that the purpose of Qureshi’s visit to Madanapalle was being probed.
A native of Srinagar, Qureshi used to live in Delhi. He was doing leather jackets business from 1993 to 1999. He allegedly began working for the Islamic Front, a militant outfit operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). In 2001, the police arrested him on a charge of planting a bomb at a park in Delhi. A pistol and some grenades were recovered from him then. He was jailed till April 2006. Police said that he continued to work with terrorist outfits, crossed over to the PoK and established connections with the LeT.
