MUMBAI: The man wrongly placed on India's most wanted list of criminals hiding in Pakistanhas not even been chargesheeted in the crime that put him on the ignominious roll in the first place.
Thane resident Wazhul Kamar Khan fled the state eight years ago soon after learning that the police suspected his role in the 2003 Mulund blast, which killed 11 and injured 82. He remained on the run for seven years, earning a place on the country's most wanted list that was forwarded to Pakistan. He returned to Mumbai in 2010 and was thereafter arrested by the state's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
Back then, the ATS claimed that Khan had a major role in the Mulund blast and two other bombings. "He took part in the blasts at Mulund, Vile Parle and Mumbai Central. He was present at all times from assembling bombs to transporting them," ATS chief Rakesh Maria said.
The court, however, was not impressed with the police's work. With no chargesheet filed by cops against Khan within 90 days as required by law, a special trial court in Mumbai released the 44-year-old on bail last August.
Shame, in our over enthusiasm to prove that Pakistan is sheltering our fugitive accused terrorists, lets not add up to the list, without proper verification, with innocents or those who were just interrogated or even those who were named by the other accused to avoid further police torture.
