BENGALURU: Investigations by the NIA and the Kerala police have revealed that the key accused in the Bengaluru serial blasts of July 25, 2008, currently resides in Peshawar, Pakistan. K P Sabeer, who is linked to terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba, was off the radar after fleeing India on a fake passport in 2008.
Sources claimed KA Anoop, an alleged associate of the accused was in touch with him and it was the analysis of Anoop's Dubai phone call records that revealed a number linked to Sabeer. “He has been trying to take his wife to Pakistan and has been offering 100,000 dirhams to obtain travel documents for her. This is the first time in many years that some information has emerged about Sabeer,” said sources.
Apart from the Bengaluru serial blasts, Sabeer alias Mohammed Sabeer alias Ayub, a former president of the SIMI in Kerala, is also accused in a number of cases, including the 2005 bus-burning case and a 2008 plot to facilitate terror training for youths from Kerala. Sabeer's whereabouts emerged after Anoop was investigated following his deportation from the UAE last month. He was arrested by the NIA on April 8 this year.
