JAMMU, June 27: Police was investigating a possible Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) link among Parvez Ahmad Tak, missing starlet Laila Khan and Bollywood financiers Afghan Khan and Wakif Ahmad alias Sonu. Mumbai police especially a team of police officers from Nasik, which was investigating the case of missing Bollywood and Lollywood actor Laila Khan and her family members for past over one and a half years, were expected to reach Kishtwar in next couple of days to join investigations with Kishtwar police, which had arrested Tak last week from Bagh-e-Bahu area, near here.
DIG Doda-Ramban range Gareeb Dass said they were investigating a possible LeT link among various actors involved in the missing mystery of actor Laila Khan, Parvez Tak, Afghan Khan and Sonu.
He added that Kishtwar police has sounded Nasik police about the arrest of Tak and they would be reaching here in the next few days. Nasik police had camped in Kishtwar for past one week but by then Tak hadn’t been arrested. They had examined the Mitsubishi Outlander seized in Kishtwar, registered on the name of Laila Khan and recovered from a shop owned by Tak.
The DIG said Parvez Tak has disclosed identity of several persons, who were in contact with him as well as Laila Khan including Afghan Khan and Wakif Ahmad alias Sonu. While Khan was a real estate builder, Sonu was a financier of Bollywood movies. Both were closely linked to financing of films and Mumbai police was probing their underworld, hawala and terror links especially with the LeT outfit.
Though Parvez Ahmad Tak has claimed that Laila along with her family members might have fled to Dubai, sources said Mumbai Police was not ready to by this claim as they had reports that Afghan Khan has wide network in Dubai and Laila can’t escape from his network there.
“Laila and her family have dodged security agencies and left India for another country but they might not be hiding in Dubai for the fear of Afghan Khan, who wanted to marry Laila Khan at any cost’’, sources said quoting from interrogation of Parvez Ahmad Tak, a resident of Kishtwar, who had married Saleena Begum, divorced wife of Mumbai based businessman, Nadir Shah Patel.
Tak said Saleena had been showing him as her husband in some parties and driver in high society functions. However, he admitted that he was cheat and had an eye on the huge money and jewellery lying with Saleena and her family. Saleena got the money after divorce with Nadir Shah.
Laila Khan, her mother, Saleena Begum Patel, brother Imran, a sister and a cousin had gone missing in February 2011 in Mumbai. Since then, they were untraced. Their missing report had been lodged in Oshiwara police station. Laila Khan had acted in some Indian and Pakistan movies before she went missing.
Meanwhile, Nasik police has communicated to their counterparts in Kishtwar that they would like to take custody of Parvez Ahmad Tak for his sustained interrogation in Mumbai to solve missing mystery of Laila Khan and her four family members.
Sources said such a request could be conceded as Tak was not wanted here in much significant case except for the recovery of Laila Khan’s Mitsubishi Outlander from Kishtwar. However, Mumbai police would have to take court permission for remand of Parvez Tak in connection with the case registered by Nasik police in missing mystery of Laila Khan.
