Another Indian Mujahideen terror suspect has been arrested in Jodhpur by the Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
Zakir (30), was arrested on Thursday from Lala Lajpat Colony in Pratap Nagar here. He was also found to be associated with the IM module of Rajasthan and was assisting the module's active members, said an ATS official.
The ATS got this breakthrough following information obtained from the interrogation of Ashraf, an IM operative who was arrested in Tamil Nadu on May 1 in connection with IM's sleeper module in Rajasthan which was uncovered by the state ATS and the Delhi Police Special Cell in March.
Zakir was on Friday produced in court which sent him to 14 days judicial custody. According to officials, Zakir is a mason and resident of Jodhpur.
This is the sixth arrest from Jodhpur. Earlier five suspected IM terrorists were arrested from different locations in Rajasthan in March.
Ashraf, also a resident of Jodhpur, was, however, arrested from Chennai last week. He had escaped from Jodhpur following the busting of the module here. The ATS is currently interrogating Ashraf, who was remanded to 10 days police custody by a local court on Wednesday.
