NELLORE, INDIA:Seventeen-year-old Shakeer Ahmed was arrested on the charge of possessing secret documents and maps related to civil works pertaining to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota on Wednesday night. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel found Ahmed, a contract labour, carrying secret documents and maps, while he was coming out of SHAR. They immediately took him into custody and informed the senior officers and the district police. Senior officials of the CISF, Superintendent of Police N. Suryanarayana and other police officers interrogated Ahmed till Thursday midnight to ascertain whether he had any links with Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence. He claimed that he found the documents while on his way out. "The police have registered a case under relevant sections against Ahmed and interrogation is going on," Mr. Suryanarayana told The Hindu on Friday. The police could divulge full details only after the probe. Ahmed, a primary school drop-out, hails from Brahmadevam village of Muthukur mandal. His father died two months ago. The family members of Ahmed claimed that he had no links with any anti-national outfit. "Since we hail from the minority community, everybody suspects that my son has links with the ISI, but he is absolutely innocent," said his mother Saheena. "If it is proved that my son has links with the ISI, all our family members will commit suicide," she said. Posted by: john 2006-05-27 |
