Mumbai: A man named in
a list of Most Wanted criminals given to Pakistan, has been found
to be in Mumbai's fortified Arthur Road Central Jail and facing
trial in the March 12, 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, official
sources said. This is the second goof-up in the list.
Listed in the dossier as Most Wanted criminal No.27 - Feroze Abdul
Rashid Khan - is shown as a wanted accused in the 1993 serial
blasts case along with the absconding mafia don Dawood Ibrahim
Kaskar.
Despite several attempts, top police, Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) and home department officials remained
unavailable for comments in the suspected goof-up, when contacted
by IANS here Thursday evening.
This is the second goof-up in the list. Wazhul Qamar Khan, accused
number 42, alleged to be in Pakistan, was found working and living
with his family in Thane.
Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram expressed regrets and later
Wazhul's name was struck off the list.
Feroze Khan was nabbed Feb. 6, 2010 by the state's Anti-Terrorist
Squad for his role in the 1993 blasts which were masterminded by
Dawood and executed by Tiger Memon, who is also in the Most Wanted
list.
Post-arrest, the ATS handed Feroze Khan to the CBI's Special Task
Force for further investigations
Soon after the serial blasts, he had gone missing for several
years before surfacing under a new identity until he was busted
last year.
Feroze Khan was a member of the Mohammed Dossa gang, who was the
chief landing agent handling the consignment of arms and
ammunition that arrived by the Arabian Sea routes before being
taken by road to Mumbai.
Incidentally, Feroze Khan is lodged in the same high-security
prison as Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, who has
been sentenced to death for his role in the Nov. 26, 2008 Mumbai
terror attack.
