Pakistan-based Deendar Anjuman Chief Syed Zia-Ul-Hassan, who masterminded the serial church blasts in South India last year, also heads a militant outfit called Jamat-E-Hijbul Mujahideen, according to the chargesheet filed by the state police.
The chargesheet filed before the III additional chief metropolitan magistrate here on March 19, 2001, states that Zia- Ul-Hassan who operated from Pakistan's Mardan, frequently visited India on a Pakistan passport (no G 435181) and used every such visit ''to identify susceptible youth and carry out his subversive activities'' The Jamat-E-Hijbul-Mujahideen headed by Zia-Ul-Hassan was targeting destabilisation of entire South India by causing communal disturbances between religions, fomenting communal disharmony and destabilisation of the Government.
Jamat-E-Hijbul-Mujahideen was also targeting Jammu and Kashmir. The investigation team had seized a printout of a coded e-mail message from one of the accused arrested in connection with the serial blasts.
The message read: ''Marriage with Firdous house'', which meant ''war with Jammu and Kashmir''. Surakh, an Urdu daily of Pakistan, published an interview of Zia-Ul-Hassan introducing him as the head of the Jamat-E-Hijbul-Mujahideen. In the interview ''he had stated that he had visited Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra frequently'', said the chargesheet. According to the chargesheet filed by Mr V S D'Souza, Police Inspector (Shivajinagar traffic), Zia-Ul-Hassan visited Bangalore during December 1992 and stayed in the house of Mohsyn Chitradurgi, father of Siddiqui, in J C Nagar. Siddiqui is one of the two accused killed in the accidental bomb blast in a Maruthi van in which they were travelling on July 9, 2000, in Bangalore. Zia-Ul- Hassan came to Bangalore for the second time along with one of his sons in 1999.
He held meetings with several accused persons in the case. This visit of Hassan to India lasted more than two months, during which he had finalised a design to destabilise India. On October 20, 1999, Zia-Ul-Hassan addressed a meeting of Jamat-E-Hijbul- Mujahideen cadre in Hyderabad. According to the chargesheet, Andhra Pradesh police have seized a dairy containing the proceedings of the meeting along with the names and telephones numbers of those who took part in the meeting.
In this meeting Zia-Ul-Hassan gave his call to the cadres in Urdu: ''Jaise Sahoolat hai vaise karo. Deen ke vaste jaan dene ke liye tayar ho jao. Mujahid ladenge, Hindustan mein nifaq dalne ki puri koshish ki jaye. Churchon ko bomb se udaya jai. Christian, Dalit, Hunduon ko apas me ladaya jaye, Dakshin Bharath ko kamzor kiya jai''. (''Act as per your convenience, die for the sake of religion, Holy warriors will fight, go all out to create hatred among religions in India, blast churches with bombs, see that Christians, Dalits and Hindus fight among themselves, weaken South India'').
During this Hyderabad meeting, Zia-Ul-Hassan appointed Syed Kaliquzama, as chief of all operations in South India. He also appointed Hasanuzama as captain to look after this operation. Kaliquzama, an auditor in Krishna District Co-operative Bank at Tiruvur in Andhra Pradesh and Hasanuzama, a junior warrant officer in the Indian Air Force at New Delhi were among the 29 accused arrested in the serial blast cases. Zia-Ul-Hassan visited India on the pretext of attending the Urs of his father, Syed Siddique Hussain Deendar Channabasaveshwara, who founded the Deendar sect in 1924 by claiming to be the reincarnation of social reformer Basavanna.
Urs is being held every year during the month of Rajab (October- November) at Asifnagar in Andhra Pradesh. Interestingly, Zia-Ul- Hassan and his associates who are Pakistan nationals, have registered themselves in the foreign tourist section at the City Police Commissioner's Office on their arrival to the City. According to the chargesheet, S M Ibrahim,was trained in handling weapons such as rocket launchers, AK47, explosives and preparation of IEDs in Pakistan along with 10 other accused.
Ibrahim and other accused had collected information relating to Air Force base, repair depots and other defence secrets located in Delhi, Nagpur, Hyderabad and Bangalore and passed on this information to Zia-Ul-Hassan through e-mail from Millennium Cyber Cafe in the City and stored the same information on a floppy, which was seized by the police, the chargesheet said. Ibrahim and others were selected to carry out operation in Karnataka and Goa.
The chargesheet also includes receipts of credit card withdrawals made by the accused members in India and Pakistan and their Pakistani residential addresses as documentary evidence to prove that they had close links with Zia-Ul-Hassan, head of the militant outfit. The chargesheet submitted by Mr D'Souza, who has been awarded Chief Minister's gold medal for his remarkable investigation, includes various letters, diaries, printouts of e- mail messages sent by the accused to their links in Pakistan, computer floppies, rare photographs of Zia-Ul-Hassan.
