IM mastermind Riyaz Bhatkal plotted to kill RSS supremo Mohan Bhagwat: Reports
NewDelhi: Mohd Abrar, the alleged Indian Mujahideen
(IM) operative who was wanted for the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts, has
reportedly told interrogators from the Maharashtra Police that Riyaz
Bhatkal, alleged to be a top IM mastermind, had hatched a plot to kill
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
The Maharashtra Police, according to sources, has alerted the Centre
to expedite the process of reaching Bhatkal, who is believed to be
hiding in Karachi.
Abrar was arrested in Aurangabad after an encounter with a team of
Maharashtra ATS on March 26 during which his aide, one Khaleel, was shot
dead. Abrar, who suffered injuries in the encounter, was arrested from
the spot.
Sources in the Gujarat Police said during his interrogation, Abrar
told the Maharashtra ATS that Bhatkal had instructed a few IM operatives
(including him) to collect funds to carry out a operation to kill
Bhagwat.
The Gujarat Police claim that Abrar was a key IM operative involved
in running terror camps in Kerala in the run-up to the 2008 blasts in
Ahmedabad.
