2008 Ahmedabad blasts: IM co-founder Abdul Subhan taken to Danilimda bungalow

AHMEDABAD: Terror group Indian Mujahideen's co-founder Abdul Subhan alias Tuakeer was taken to a bungalow located in a society at Danilimda on Saturday for reconstruction of events that led to the 2008 Ahmedaba serial blasts.
Crime branch sources said this was the bungalow which was rented by co-accused Qayamuddin Kapadia for sheltering terrorists who came to Ahmedabad to plant bombs.

“21 bombs were planted at about 17 places in the city on 26th July 2008 which exploded within a span of 45 minutes starting from about 6.15pm. 56 people were killed and over 200 were injured” said a crime branch official.

Crime branch officials said Subhan had also stayed at the bungalow and hence he was taken there.

“Subhan will also be taken to another rented house in Vatva area where he had also stayed and organised several meeting in which he delivered speeches to lure Muslims youths into terrorism” added an investigator.

Sources said Subhan had fled the city just ten days before the blasts and had taken shelter in Bihar and Jharkhand before sneaking into Nepal through Raxual border in 2009.

“He stayed in Nepal and worked as an English teacher at a private school under the fake identity of Abdul Rehman. He was arrested last month from the outskirts of Delhi by the special cell of the Delhi Police.

Ahmedabad crime branch brought him on transfer warrant to the city and arrested him in the serial blast case” added a crime branch official.
