The Mumbai Police on Thursday arrested suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed on suspicion that they may have provided local help to the 26/11 attackers, a move that could lead to the stringent MCOCA being applied to the case and its lone surviving terrorist, Ajmal Ameer Kasab.
Ansari and Ahmed, brought from UP last night, were produced in the Esplanade Court today as accused in the Girgaum Chowpatty encounter case where Kasab and his partner Ismail Khan were intercepted and a policeman was killed before Khan was gunned down.
Ansari, a resident of Goregaon in Mumbai, allegedly surveyed spots in the city on orders from LeT handler Kahafa. He is also accused of passing on CDs containing photographs and videos of these spots to Ahmed in Kathmandu. The court remanded the duo to police custody until December 31.
While Ansari was arrested by the UP Special Task Force from Rampur on February 10, Ahmed was picked up the following day from the Charbagh area in Lucknow along with two Pakistani nationals, for their involvement in the attack on the CRPF camp in Rampur on January 1 this year.
