Faheem, Sabauddin to be shifted to Bareilly
Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed were acquitted in the Mumbai terror attack case recently, and will soon be shifted from the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai to
the central prison in Bareilly in connection with the attack on a CRPF group centre at Rampur in Uttar Pradesh in 2007.
Senior superintendent of Bareilly central jail B.R. Verma said that the duo, accused in the 2007 attack on the CRPF group centre at Rampur, had been taken to Mumbai in December 2008 by the Mumbai ATS in the wake of the 26/11 terror attack.
Seven CRPF jawans were among nine people killed in a terror attack on the CRPF group centre at Rampur in 2007, and nine people, including Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin, were arrested in connection with the case. Before being taken to Mumbai in connection with the terror strike case, Faheem was lodged at the Bareilly Jail and Ahmed in the Lucknow prison, he said.
Since all the accused in the Rampur case are presently in Bareilly, these two would also be brought here, Mr Verma said. Ansari and Ahmed have been lodged along with Mumbai terror attack convict Ajmal Aamir Qasab at the Arthur Road Jail since 2008.
[However, Arthur Road Jail officials are yet to get any directive on the same. “We are yet to receive any directions from the court pertaining to the date of transfer,” said superintendent, Arthur Road Jail Rajendra Dhamne.] —
