The vast tech-savvy communications network of arrested Indian Mujahideen commander Yasin Bhatkal is the first target of investigators to track the cross-border chain of Pakistan’s ISI, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Indian Mujahideen terror cells within India.
Yasin’s communications network is expected to provide critical details of absconding IM brass led by Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal, who are learnt to be hiding in Pakistan. A laptop and cellphone were recovered from Yasin, sources said. National Investigation Agency sleuths brought Yasin to Delhi from Bihar in a BSF aircraft Friday, and produced him before a local court, which remanded him to NIA custody for 12 days.
Sources said Yasin will be taken to various places inside and outside Delhi to recover material evidence, unearth sleeper cells and unravel conspiracies he had hatched.
Yasin is no stranger to Delhi: he had lived here with his wife, and had also set up a small ordnance and weapons unit in a small room at Nangloi in Outer Delhi.
