Two IM men on the run planning terror attacks in Hyderabad National Investigation Agency said that two terror suspects belonging to the Indian Mujahideen — Tahseen Akh-tar and Waqas — who were allegedly involved in the Dilsukhnagar bombing, are on the run, and busy plotting terror strikes in Hyderabad. The NIA, which has already brought IM operatives Asadullah Akhtar alias Tabrez and Yasin Bhatkal on prisoner transit remand to the city, grilled them and got vital clues regarding their involvement in the Dilsukhnagar and other blasts in the country. Twenty-three-year-old Tahseen Akhtar, alias Monu alias Hassan, son of Mohammed Waseem Akhtar, a resident of Maniarpur in Samstipur district of Bihar, and Waqas, alias Javed alias Ahmed, a resident of Pakistan, are wanted by NIA for a conspiracy case and for their roles in the Dilsukhnagar bomb blasts on February 21, 2013. Cops said they are likely to be posing as tourist guides for cover while they survey possible targets for attacks. The NIA has asked the public to assist the agency in providing information that could lead to the arrest of Tahseen Akhtar and Waqas, who are in hiding. The NIA has announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for info about them. The name of the informant will be kept a secret. The agency said that the duo was involved in the planning and commission of the terror attacks on Varanasi in 2010, Mumbai serial blasts in 2011 and Dilsukhnagar blasts in 2013. “They may also be plotting future terrorist strikes. Both the accu-sed are known to be inciting communal hatred in society,” NIA said in an official communication to police of all states. The pair pose as students to get accommodation on rent. They are computer savvy and regularly visit cyber cafes. They are masters of disguise, are able to switch identities and pose as members of other communities. The accused use Android phones to access the Internet and they purchase SIM cards from shops by using fake documents. The accused Pakistani national, Waqas, suffers from facial paralysis and visits doctors frequently for treatment. Information regarding these two IM operatives, who are on the run, can be passed on to the following e-mail: [email protected].
