Tamil Nadu : In what is considered a breakthrough in the sensational murder of Hindu Munnani leader Suresh Kumar, the Tamil Nadu police have arrested four fanatics said to be part of the deadly Al Ummah terror outfit.

The police arrested the four men from Bangalore, who were later identified as Mohammad Shammiullah, Mohammad Sadiq, Abdul Shameem and Nawaz. Shammiullah, who is based in Bangalore, is accused of sheltering the other three who are alleged to be directly involved in the murder of Suresh Kumar, which took place on June 18, 2014.

Bangalore’s Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Hemanth Nimbalkar informed that the three had fled Tamil Nadu and sought refuge in Bangalore. “Shamiullah then provided them with painting jobs,” said Nimbalkar.

Currently in the custody of the Tamil Nadu police, the four have revealed to interrogators that the murder was part of their agenda of eradicating leaders of the Hindu Munnani, which the terror outfit considers a threat to Islam.

On June 18, Suresh Kumar, secretary of the Hindu Munnani's Tiruvallur district unit, had stepped outside his store when he was hacked to death by a gang. The police had then claimed that the murder had been perpetrated by Al Ummah operatives because of a hate speech that Kumar had delivered a few months earlier.

The Al Ummah, a deadly terror outfit banned by the Tamil Nadu government, has several strong pockets in Tamil Nadu, especially in Salem. Their aim is to radicalise Muslim youth and create a communal divide between Hindus and Muslims. Its biggest operation came in the form of the 1998 Coimbatore blasts in which over 50 persons were killed.

While the group is originally based in Tamil Nadu, over the past two years they have been setting up a base in Karnataka as well. Police and Intelligence Bureau officials say the blast outside the Bharatiya Janata Party office in Bangalore in April 2013 was a signal from the Al Ummah of their presence in the state.

Further proof of them expanding their operations in Karnataka was this year’s Chennai train blasts, which claimed the life of one and injured 12 others.

According to an IB report, the outfit has around 50 members today. The report also draws out the group’s intent and that assassination of Hindu leaders tops their agenda. They also carry out blasts to boost recruitments, the report further states.

Hindu Munnani leader murdered, BJP holds demo

20 June 2014



Hindu Munnani leader K P Suresh

K P Suresh, a prominent Hindu Front leader was allegedly hacked to death by Islamists late on Wednesday night at Ambattur, a Chennai suburb. The incident took place right in front of the Joint Police Commissioner’s office.

48-year-old Suresh is the fourth leader of the Hindu Front, a socio-cultural umbrella organisation, who was murdered in less than a year. Amongst other leaders who have been murdered since August 2013 include Arvind Reddy, a medical doctor from Vellore, Ramesh, a chartered accountant from Salem who was also the BJP State secretary and Vellaiyappan, Vellore district secretary of the Hindu Front.

According to eye-witnesses Suresh was hacked to death by a motorcycle-borne gang consisting of three persons.

“He was coming out of the xerox shop owned by him when the gang appeared all of a sudden and attacked him with swords and rod,” said Rajesh, a Hindu Front activist. Tamil Nadu Police did not make any formal announcement about the investigation even till Thursday evening.

Since Suresh had no business rivalries, his friends and associates ruled out the possibility of such a factor. Gautaman, director, Vedic Sciences Research Centre, and a long time friend of Suresh told that the deceased was actively campaigning against ‘Love Jehad’ and religious conversion in the area. “This has annoyed some of the Islamist organisations and they have been waiting to strike,” said Gautaman.

Interestingly, all the others who were murdered in the span of last one year too were active in campaigning against religious conversions. Though the Tamil Nadu Director General of Police had labelled the three murders as fall out of business rivalry, a special investigation division constituted by the Government had arrested Fakhrudeen, Panna Ismail and Bilal Malik, all activists of the banned Al Ummah organisation.

Rama Gopalan, the octogenarian leader of the Hindu Front said the murder of Suresh was yet another proof that “Tamil Nadu has become a safe haven for Islamic terrorists”.

“They are in a vantage position as they can strike anywhere and anybody without fear. I request Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to directly oversee the case pertaining to this murder and ensure the perpetrators are brought to book,” said Rama Gopalan.
