Kasab IIs dad in Pak; fears LeT Pak army backlash

New Delhi: Nailing Pakistan’s lies again, Mohammad Yakub, a man from Pakistan said he was the unfortunate father of the captured militant in Udhampur, the second such since Ajmal Kasab was nabbed during the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

A leading daily spoke to the arrested terrorist Mohammaed Naved’s father who said both Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Pakistan army were after this life. 

“You are calling from India. We’ll be killed. I am the unfortunate father,” Yakub was quoted as saying by the daily,

“I’ll be killed, Lashkar and the Pakistani army are after us,” the father said . Naved, believed to be in his early 20s, has said he has two brothers and one sister. One of the brothers is a lecturer while the other runs a hosiery business.

Notably, Pakistan has asked New Delhi to provide proof of any Pakistani found involved in terrorist activity on Indian soil. 

Naved was captured on Wednesday shortly after he and a fellow militant shot dead two Border Security Force troopers on the highway near Samruli, about 10 km from Udhampur town. The other terrorist was killed in the firing, but Usman was nabbed alive.

Upon arrest, Naved told interrogators that he came from Pakistan to “kill Hindus” and that “it’s fun doing this”.

He has also told his interrogators that he belonged to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Pakistan-based militant group behind the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which Ajmal Kasab was captured. Kasab was later hanged.

New Delhi alleges that the young terrorist was a Pakistani from the town of Faisalabad who sneaked into India recently.

However, Pakistan’s National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) said images of the terrorist shown on the Indian television did not match any Pakistani citizen.
