Kaangress and its terrorist friends

A former member of the MIM, Maqbool was convicted of murdering one Krishnamurthy in Nizamabad district in 1999 and sentenced to life imprisonment in October 2004. But following a grant of remission by then YSR government in 2009, Maqbool walked free.

"You can imagine why Maqbool got remission," said the government official adding that MIM was a partner of the Congress govt in AP until a few months ago.

Maqbool is also an accused of murdering Devender in Uppal and Mahavir Prasad, a jeweler, in Afzalgunj. He is also charged in the bomb blast cases at Kakatiya Hotel, Lal Darwaza, Sharda theatre, Nanded, Lamba theatre, Secunderabad, and the accidental blast at the home of Azam Ghouri, another IM activist later killed in an encounter by the police.
