Aftab Ansari, accused in the American Center shoot-out in Kolkata on January 22, has admitted to having earned his money through kidnappings and arms deals and using it to establish a terror network across the country. Ansari was also financing some jehadis in Pakistan, chiefly Omar Sheikh, one of the three persons released by India following the Kandahar hijack. The CBI said that Ansari also admitted to forming a countrywide network of arms, narcotics smugglers for carrying out illegal activities in India.
