Hyderabad blast

Hyderabad Hyderabad Police is hoping to finally crack the August 25, 2007, twin blasts case in the city. Three Indian Mujahideen operatives who were arrested by Maharashtra anti-terrorist squad in October 2008, have been brought to Hyderabad for interrogation after they claimed that they had planted the bombs at Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat.

Aniquee Shafiq Syed, Akbar Ismail Choudhary, Ansar Ahmed Sheikh of Indian Mujahideen will be produced in Nampally Court and taken into police custody by AP's anti-terror unit - Octopus.

According to Maharashtra ATS, Riyaz Bhaktal had sent the bomb from Pune to Hyderabad in a road transport bus. Bhaktal paid some money to the driver of the Pune-Hyderabad bus telling him that his brother would collect it at Hyderabad.

Aniquee and and Akbar collected the parcel from the bus and took it to the room they rented out in Habsiguda. It was these two who stayed in the city for over month to finalise things. After taking a flat on rent at Habsiguda, the duo posed as students and even joined a computer course at an institute in Ameerpet.

They also told Maharashtra Police that they went to reccee Secunderabad Railway Station, Gokul Chat, Lumbini Park and Necklace Road. Police believe that it was Riyaz Bhaktal alias Roshan Khan who planted a bomb at Gokul Chat while Aniquee planted the bomb at Lumbini Park. A third bomb planted by Akbar Ismail at Dilsukhnagar did not explode. Police believe that the bomb that was planted at Lumbini Park was meant to have been placed on a tourist boat plying on Hussainsagar lake.

The blast at Gokul Chat House killed 32 people while 10 persons died at the Lumbini Park The case remained unsolved for more than a year until the Mumbai ATS nabbed a group of seven Indian Mujahideen operatives after the Delhi blasts. Riyaz Bhaktal and his brother Iqbal Bhaktal are still absconding. Mansoor Peerbhoy who was arrested from Pune for drafting and sending the emails a few minutes before the blasts will also be brought to Hyderabad later.

Require Transparent and Honest Investigation by Indian Patriot on 02 Feb 2009

All these hypothetical findings which will always remain inconclusive as main culprits behind all such bomb blasts were Hindu Terrorists who were trained by Purohit, Pragya, Self procliamed Shankaracharya, etc. All the bombs that exploded during the past eight years should be investigated with total transparency and honesty and without any prejudices against any religion or community. The persons who openly advocates the violence such as recents ones in Maharashtra and Karnataka are also terrorists who are terrorising people in the name of culture, and region and religion. The Indian culture is to respect the women whereas nowadays more female foetus are destroyed by Hindus, the culture is to wear Dhoti, Kurta and Karaon (Footwear) and these Hindu culturists wear Western Trousers, Shirts, Tie and Stylish Shoes and Watches. All these goons should be arrested and sent behind the bars and see that terrorism is tackled.

Require Transparent and Honest Investigation by N.V.SANKARAN on 04 Feb 2009

What exactly do you mean by transparency in investigation? It was reported that, before his death, Mr. Karkare had complained that he was under tremendous pressure from politicians. That may have been the reason when the Mumbai ATS deviated from the normal procedure in the case of Purohit. Normally, whenever a serving military officer is suspected of involvement in any criminal activity, the civil authorities are required to inform the Military with the evidence and let the investigations be carried out by the Military. The military conducts independent investigations and arrives at the right decisions. But, in the case of Purohit, the Mumbai ATS first went public and silenced the military authorities. The military authorities had complained that even after 10 days of alleging involvement of Purohit, they were not given any report. Now, this is really intriguing.

BLASTS - PUROHIT - LADEN ETC by SHIRASATISH on 02 Feb 2009

Dear Mr Patriotplease be let known to you that even the terrorist activities taking place all over the world and what more even Mr Bin Laden is the proponent of HINDU TERRORIST. What a pity you are so unaware of this

Bin Laden and terrorism in India by M.A.Ayub gohar on 02 Feb 2009

What is the relation of terrorism taking place outside India with that of Indian Muslims? Bin Laden has reason to perpetrate terrorism against USA. If Bin Laden and his army had a country and powerful weapons like those of USA he would have directly confronted the Yankeidom. USA has enslaved his country, siphons off the resources of Arab countries, sustains dictatorship in these countries at the expense of their subjects incouding Bin Laden, bombed Libya killing Gaddafi's daughter,bombed a medical factory in Sudan killing many Muslims, missiled Iranian passenger flight killing all Muslim passengers, sent cruise missiles to Bin Laden's tent in Afghanistan,encouraged Saddam Hussein to attack Kuwait with the purpose of bringing Arab leaders under its control,lured Muslims into doing Jehad against Soviets in Afghanistan,etc.Many Indian Hindus were working in the offices of Bin Laden at Jeddah and now also many Hindus are working in his brothers' offices and companies in Saudi Arabia.

donot try to cover under one case of purohit by kranti on 02 Feb 2009

Please donot try to cover up and escape by saying that purohit. The way they did is shamefull. but they are novice is doing so, not expert like islamist jihadis. even Imam of jama massid openly advocates the violence and supports jihad, is living a free life, that that for indian system. And what doesnt islam prohibit doing smuggling, alcohol, lending money on interest, donot muslim involve in these trades ? the cultural aspect was to bar ladies from consuming alcohol. its not with the jeans or their dress, yes the way they behave with ladies is not as per our culture . but if one man goes on wrong path , only he is destroyed, if women get indulged in such vices , whole family , whole society decays ... IS going to bars and boozing and flirting is called liberation of women .. think ...

Great standards by Sanjeev on 02 Feb 2009

How convenient! If the hindu extremists are nabbed,that is honest investigation,but when the muslim extremists are caught,then there is a call for judicial inquiry. Shame on you people,who think of justice only when it suits your religion.This applies to all religions.

Patriotism with sense by An Indian on 02 Feb 2009

Dear Indian Patriot, now thats a pretty biased view of yours. Although i fully agree to the shameful birth and rise of the Hindu extremism related to bombing and mass murders, but what do you mean by transparent and unbiased investigation when you are saying that these Hindu Goons preaching hatred should be booked. I mean you surely don't have an iota of faith in Indian Judicial system. Now when ATS and police have gathered some conclusive evidence against the Indian Mujahideen operatives, people like you are saying its also the handiwork of Hindu extremists. One more thing, isnt it was the same Law enforcement system that unmasked the face of the Purohit, Pragya brigade. So i would suggest you to have some faith in the system or otherwise please keep shut.In good faith.....

Real reason is Islamic terror by Abdul on 02 Feb 2009

Hindus grabed the weapons only to save their existance from islamic terror who is eating india slowley.For your info Hindu terror born only at the time of Congress because Congress is too soft on Islamic terror.And sure in this majourity Hindu country, Hindus have right atleast to live atleast equal class citizens.I urge all hindus to get united and support Purohit,Pragya.because its a real fact that Islam dont understand the language of Gandhiji.

We have good faith in out judiciary by Indian Patriot on 02 Feb 2009

My dear India, there was a blast in Mehrauli market immediately after the Karol Bagh, Barakhamba Road etc. blasts but none was apprehended because it was well known that the culprits were Hindus and therefore left to flee and in the end the case closed. We have faith in our judicial system but not in the investigating agencies who are prejudiced and biased towards msulims and the example of this is the arrest of many muslim youths after Mecca mosque blasts in Hyderabad and all have now been freed but their faces have been darkenedby the biased investigating agencies. Can you deny that immediately after every blast some muslim outfits are blamed whereas the same investigating agencies are clueless before the incidence. These agencies have been filing reports in papers only without any authentic evidences. Recently, an ecounter was conducted by UP ATS and Noida police and it has been questioned by many journalists as the statements of ATS and Noida Police are quite apart and there are many loopholes in the story. We have full faith in out judicial system and that is why we demand a judicial probe in all such matters. Any way thanks for toeing my line and accepting the magnitude of Hindu Terror.

not a true patriot by Jai Ho on 02 Feb 2009

Indian Patriot You seem to keep a lot of information and a lot of fire in yr belly. We do not require such comments and fully trust our ivestigative agencies.

historic blunder by kaushal on 02 Feb 2009

Congress, UPA and other Sicular parties created the bogey of Hindu terrorists to give people like you a reason accuse Hindus. You people were defensive after all the bomb attacks in India. The UPA under Sonia has given you an excuse for all the sins. I know, now Mullah in all the mosques must be crying at the top of their voice about this conspiracy theory. UPA rulers have stabbed us in the back. This is going to hurt us in future. Now more and more Muslims youths will be motivated towards terrorism.

Muslim cry again and blame others by Abdul on 02 Feb 2009

You Muslims why you always need to cry all the time and blame others either its Gaza,Uk orIndia?.Its well known fact that you are creating the most of the problem around the world.Mehrauli and Karol Bagh, Barakhamba Road blast were also done by Islamic jehadies.Why you people lie all the time??Oh I know to save Islam lie is also treated as Truth.Hindu terror is more hyped by you people to hide Islamic terror.But evenif Hindu terror is there I will urge all Hindus to stand behind it as this is the only language these people(muslims) understand.

Now thats a real prejudiced opinion by An Indian on 02 Feb 2009

To Indian Patriot,Now i am really impressed with the amount of superior intelligence and understanding of yours with the statement that "it was well known that the culprits were Hindus"........WOW. U knew it and as per you everybody did. By your statement "investigating agencies who are prejudiced and biased towards msulims" you must have meant "biased against Muslims". Anyway i got the point. So by your previous statement are not you deeply deeply prejudiced against the Indian investigative agencies and system as such. Ok in this reply of mine also i will "toe your line" that there are flaws, but isnt it very much expected. I mean the Hindu extremism of this sort is something really new (not talking about the communal riots and all), whereas the Muslim extremism is a curse on all human race around the world for many many decades. Mind it i am not calling islam anything other than a great religion (i have some superb muslim friends). Now coming to the so called fake encounter you talked about. So there are inconsistencies in the encounter stories, but why are you only and only interested in uncovering the truth behind the fake encounters related to Muslim youth. I am not justifying one crime with another one, and just would like to point out your own prejudice in such cases. Moreover the real curse of India is the so called "vote bank politics" which does not allow even the convicted (by supreme court) hardcore criminals to be executed just because they belong to Muslim community. Hail our policies and our bright future.....I good faith.....An Indian

What is wrong in purohits act by Vineet on 02 Feb 2009

I dont understand that why everyone is cursing Mr Purohit when shops, mosques, markets, new borns are being named after the osama and a man with concern that the union government which run by lalu, sonia, mulayam and corrupt/ filthy policians/ goons/ land mafia/ cristian mafia not taking any interest in countering the increasing muslim terrorism has reacted.I want be very fair in this that we need to fight the enemy which is an outsider and sometimes have to fight with same vigour with the enemy inside...If a nationalist finding himself and hindu society has taken a retalitory action, he should not be condemned but should be used to know, what is the feeling of true indians.Please dont count yrself an india to comment on my writings.

What did Congress do for Muslims? by chm Unni on 02 Feb 2009

I have observed some of my compatriots usually criticizing Congress party for appeasing Muslims. What has Congress granted to the Muslims other than receiving their votes and capturing power by promising to give them many favors? Congress has been just giving them promises of favors and once they come to power they ignore them and their complaints. Congress has ruled the country for many decades and if it has appeased Muslims so much as Sangh Parivaris complain, why they are still more backward than even Harijans in all fields, especially education, employment and economy and why they were subjected to one-sided police firing during all the Hindu-Muslim communal riots which have rocked the country? During Congress rule also, Muslims were suffering the gun shots of police forces and sword strikes of Hindu rioters. Muslims have been waiting for the past 61 years to receive the mutton biriyani offered by Congress, but to no avail. Though Congress party has a written constitution stressing the living rights of minorities, its Hindu leaders are champions of Hindutva.So, Hindu fanatics need not worry about Congress’s coming to power as both Congress and BJP serve the interest of Sangh Parivar.
