BHOPAL: Khandwa jailbreak fugitives Mohammad Ejazuddin and Mohammad Aslam, who were shot in an encounter in Nalagonda district of Telangana on Friday night, had formed a separate wing called ‘Maal-e-Ganeemat’ within SIMI to fund their terror activities. The wing was named after medieval practice of looting belongings of enemies defeated in battle to support the poor.Interrogation report of SIMI members Ejazuddin, Aslam and their chief Abu Faisal accessed by TOI shows they wanted to be the real face of home-grown terror, swearing allegiance to Taliban and Al Qaeda, looking beyond ISI patronage enjoyed by Indian Mujahedeen.They had plans to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a plot to bomb the Sabarmati Jail to free their chief, Safdar Nagori. They had made attempts to link with Qaeda to free 9/11 accused and scientist Aafia Siddiqui from FBI custody in the US, where she is famously known as “prisoner number 650”.The two resorted to bank robberies to plough in funds. Agencies claim it was the cash generated by a robbery in Bhopal in 2010 that was used in blasts at Modi’s rally in Patna in 2014. SIMI ideologue Hyder Ali, who was arrested in connection with the October 27 blasts, revealed Abu Faisal had given him Rs 5 lakh. The team is wanted in more than 20 other robberies across India, said sources.Most recent bank robbery, in which their involvement in suspected, was in Karimnagar (Telangana) on February 1, 2014.It was Abu Faisal, mastermind of Khandwa jailbreak, who motivated Ezajuddin, Aslam and other group members to form a separate wing within SIMI to fund their activities before he got arrested for the first time in June 2011. During interrogation, Faisal revealed that the ‘wing’ had robbed five banks in Dewas, Itarsi and two other places.In 2009, this group also robbed 10 kg gold from a gold finance company of which Rs 4 lakh was handed over to a lawyer to defend former SIMI chief, Safdar Nagori. This gold robbery was also masterminded by Abu Faisal with Mujibur Rehman, Zaakir, Mohammad Aslam and Mohammad Ejazuddin.Faisal and his group had looted Rs 2.5 crore gold in Bhopal in August 2010 and had planned to commit five other bank robberies across MP to collect funds for terror attacks.While Abu Faisal was caught after the Khandwa jailbreak, Ezajuddin, Aslam and three other SIMI escapees executed a bank robbery in Odisha on December 23, 2013. They fled before team of MP’s Counter Terrorist Group (CTG) and Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) could pounce upon them at their hideout in Odisha’s Jharsuguda and Sambalpur districts. Amjad, Aslam, Zakir, Mehboob and Ejazuddin committed the robbery, say police sources.“The modus-operandi of the robbery was similar to that committed by Faisal’s same module at different banks in MP in 2012,” a senior CTG officer told TOI.
