Rauf in Chilean custody not IC-814 hijacker

New Delhi: A two-member CBI team, which went to Chile last week to ascertain the identity of Abdul Rauf, one of the main conspirators in the IC-814 hijacking in 1999, returned here on Monday empty-handed after it was confirmed that the person in Chilean custody is not the same person that the agency has been looking for all these years.
Sources said that the detained individual was asked various questions, including his parentage and profession, to ascertain if he is the same Rauf.
"However, he is not the same person. There are several anomalies like age and his ignorance about the hijacking operation," said a source.
A CBI officer and an Intelligence Bureau were sent to Chile last week. Chile had reportedly informed India that one Abdul Rauf was detained three months ago, who could have been the IC-814 hijacker.
