LeT operative Nazeer pleads guilty in 2 cases
Tags:
Thadiyantavide Nazeer, the suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, pleaded guilty in two vehicle theft cases that he had masterminded in 2008.
Nazeer, who is in Crime Branch custody now, told the sleuths that he, along with one Halim of Kannur and Sagar of Perumbavoor, had stolen a Tata Sumo car from a house at Perumbavoor and had attempted to steal a Maruti Omni van from a house at Binanipuram.
Halim and Sagar, who fell into the police net just after the robbery, had not revealed Nazeer’s involvement in the case.
The Omni theft attempt was in early 2008, when the trio had to run away when they saw two cops coming on a motorbike to the spot while they were trying to break into the van.
“Just after the failed attempt, the trio stole a Sumo car on May 13. The money collected by selling the car was believed to be used for bomb-making,” said Biju K. Stephen, the CB investigation officer.
The Aluva police are now set to add Nazeer’s name to the case, which means they would also seek his custody for interrogation.
The CB team also took Nazeer to the house at Paravoor on Thursday morning, where he used to make bombs for the LeT operations.
