[Note from the Hindu Vivek Kendra: This giving
of shelter to the terrorists is something that is happening all over India.]
The state Crime Investigation Department on
Tuesday arrested a hardcore activist of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba from Murshidabad
district in West Bengal along with a laptop and gelatine sticks.
Inspector general of police Siddhinath Gupta
said that Mohammed Mustaq had been operating as a local agent of the terror
outfit for a long time from Raghunathgunj village in Murshidabad district.
Mustaq, a 46-year-old resident of Gopalnagar
locality in Raghnathgunj, gave shelter to terrorists and coordinated for the
LeT modules of Bangladesh and India.
A cloth merchant by profession, he gave shelter
to a person named Sikandar Azam who was arrested in Kashmir a few days ago
for subversive activities. ''Getting the tip-off from Azam, we tracked down
Mustaq and arrested him,'' Gupta said.
Asked if Mustaq had any link with the back-to-back
blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad [Images], Gupta said, "We have just
arrested him and it will be too early to comment on his activities right now.
Unless we interrogate him properly, we cannot say if he had any involvement
in the blasts.''
CID sources are hopeful that the laptop recovered
from Mustaq may contain some vital information.
