LUCKNOW: Police today arrested a former IAF employee who they believe is the “mastermind” of a terror module that included Saifullah, a suspected terrorist killed in an encounter yesterday.
Mohd Ghaus Khan was picked up from Kanpur by the Anti- Terrorist Squad, and revealed vital information during questioning, said Additional Director General of UP Police Daljit Chaudhary.
He said another suspect, identified only as Azhar, was also arrested by the ATS.
Khan “is a technical man and a hardcore member of the module,” Chaudhary said, adding he was the “main accused and mastermind” of the module.
He said Azhar, the second suspect, was the main supplier of arms to the module. He did not say where he was arrested from, or in what capacity Khan worked in the air force.
The UP police claimed that with these two arrests, all the main members of what they alleged was an ISIS influenced module are in custody. (AGENCIES)
