Beed (Maharashtra): Claiming that
her son, Abu Jindal Hamza, is not a terrorist, his mother Rehana
Begum Thursday accused the security agencies of "falsely
implicating" him.
Speaking to media persons at Jindal's hometown Beed in
Maharashtra, Rehana Begum said no DNA test of herself and her
husband has been done in the past five years and that the
government should first match their DNA test results with Jindal
to confirm his identity.
"No DNA was conducted. My son is being implicated. He is not a
terrorist. My son is a religious person, he can't do anything like
this," she said.
Jindal grew up in Maharashtra's Beed district before he reportedly went to
Pakistan for terror training.
Rehana Begum said that she or her family are unaware of any cases
lodged against Jindal or his involvement in terrorist activities.
"We want a proper investigation to be done," she said when asked
if she was aware why he went missing following the 2006 Aurangabad
arms haul in which AK-47 rifles and explosives were seized.
Jindal, 30, was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International
Airport in New Delhi June 21 after his deportation from Saudi
Arabia.
Jindal, who has at least 10 aliases, was one of six people
who were allegedly holed up in a "control room" in Karachi and directed the
audacious Mumbai attack by 10 Pakistani terrorists in November
2008. The carnage left 166 people dead.
Jindal was allegedly one of those who were heard on radio intercepts
directing the terrorists to their targets in Mumbai and telling
them who to kill. He had allegedly trained the killers to speak Hindi.
Jindal, an alleged member of the Indian Mujahideen group, was
arrested soon after he landed at the IGIA in New Delhi from Saudi
Arabia. A court sent him to 15 days' police custody.
