Another breakthrough by India's unsung law enforcement guysA LEAD FROM THE PASThttp://in.news.yahoo.com/48/20081009/814/tnl-a-lead-from-the-past.htmlSince it had been established that the four explosive-laden cars used in Ahmedabad and Surat were stolen from Navi Mumbai, the Mumbai Police began by rounding up car thieves of the city known to deliver vehicles to Gujarat. One of those who was randomly picked up and questioned was Afzal Mutalib Usmani (30). While he reportedly owned up to some recent car thefts, he pleaded ignorance when questioned about the cars the police were specifically tracking. "When we were unable to establish the identity of the car thief we were looking for, we went back to past records of the car thieves we had rounded up. We noticed that in 1996 an offence had been registered against Usmani at Shivaji Nagar police station for assaulting video-parlour owner Mangal Prasad Pandey when he set up shop beside a masjid. A co-accused in the case was a SIMI activist identified as Amir Chougule. Once this SIMI link was unearthed, we knew Usmani matched the profile of the car thief we were looking for. This was the biggest lead in the case, and put us on the right track. We picked him up from Mau district in UP while he was about to board a train," says Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria. |
