Hyderabad: The Andhra
Pradesh government Monday withdrew orders remitting the life
sentence of Syed Maqbool, the suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM)
operative, whose role in Feb 21 terror attack in Hyderabad is
being probed.
Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy signed the orders, cancelling
the remission granted to Maqbool, convicted for murder, in 2009,
official sources said.
Maqbool along with another alleged IM operative Imran Khan, were
currently lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail in 2012 Pune blasts case.
Earlier in the day, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) took
them back to Delhi after grilling them here for four days in
connection with the twin bomb blasts at Dilsukhnagar, which killed
16 people and injured over 100 others.
The chief minister took the decision after he held a high-level
meeting with home minister, police chief and other senior
officials.
The state government faced criticism for failing to prevent the
blasts despite the admission by Maqbool and Imran after their
arrest by Delhi Police in October last year they had conducted
reconnaissance of Dilsukhnagar and other areas in Hyderabad to
plant bombs.
There was more embarrassment to the government when it was
revealed that Maqbool's life sentence was remitted by it in 2009.
A native of Nanded in Maharashtra, Maqbool was involved in the
murder of a man in Nizamabad district. He was sentenced for life
in 2004. He and his brother Syed Mukhtar Ahmed were among 940
prisoners, who were granted remission on Oct 2, 2009. Maqbool was
even given a "good conduct" certificate by the Cherlapally Jail
authorities.
After his release, Maqbool allegedly developed links with terror
outfit. He is suspected to be involved in some other cases of
blasts.
