Airport satellite phone seizure: Ultra deported

New Delhi: An alleged terrorist wanted in connection with the 2005 seizure of communication equipment at IGI was deported from Dubai on Sunday. The man owing allegiance to terror outfit Al Badr has been identified as Sheikh Sajjad (35). He had been detained at Dubai on an alert issued by Indian agencies.
On June 16, 2005, Delhi Police had seized a large consignment of hi-tech communication equipment, including satellite phones, at the international airport. It was allegedly meant for militant operations in Jammu and Kashmir. The police arrested a businessman from Jangpura and another militant in connection with the case. However, the cops couldn’t lay their hand on Sajjad, who had allegedly supplied the equipment.
Sajjad was flown to Delhi on Sunday and taken on remand by the special cell of Delhi Police. His name had cropped up during the interrogation of the two suspects who had been arrested. In that case, one person has already been convicted while another man was acquitted. It was revealed then that it was Sajjad who had sent the consignment meant for terrorists in J&K. "We need to question him in detail about the procurement of this equipment," said a senior police officer.
