New Delhi, (14/5/2019): The Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested a man who is allegedly a member of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad, told police today. The arrest was made in Srinagar on Saturday evening.
The accused, Abdul Majeed Baba, a resident of Magfepora district of Sopore, was carrying a reward of Rs 2 lakh. He was declared absconding by a court after he failed to appear in connection with a 2007 case.
The accused was first arrested in 2007 along with another man and granted bail. However, he failed to appear before the court and allegedly joined the terror outfit.
The Special Cell received a tip off that Baba would be somewhere near south Srinagar on Saturday.
While briefing the media DCP (Special Cell) Sanjeev Kumar Yadav said, “He was arrested from Soura in downtown Srinagar. The accused will be produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Srinagar and brought to Delhi on transit remand. He was connected to the terror outfit responsible for the suicide bombing attack on CRPF security personals earlier this year”.
