JAMMU, Sept 23: The Border Security Force (BSF) today apprehended a Pakistani militant from Pargwal sector of Akhnoor tehsil when he was trying to negotiate border fencing to cross over into the Indian territory.
During preliminary questioning, he has revealed his identity as Abdul Qayoom, 32 S/o Bhag Ali, R/o village Pul Bajuan, Sialkot in Pakistan. He was in possession of one dual SIM Nokia mobile handset.
An official handout issued by DIG BSF Dharmendra Pareek said the militant has revealed that in 2004, he underwent “Daura e- Aam” militant training with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit at Mansera training camp in Muzaffarabad (PoK). Thereafter, he actively worked for LeT and remained associated with distribution of Jihadi Literature and magazine like Gajwa and Jarar etc as well as collection of fund for the outfit.
He has collected Rs 50 lakh of Pakistan Currency and handed it over to LeT commander Mujahid Bhatt of Sialkot area. He was well aware of all various terrorist organizations based in Pakistan and their leaders including Hafiz Sayeed, Sayed Sallah-ud-Din and also separatist leaders of Kashmir i.e. Syed Ali Shah Gilani, Asiya Andrabi, Yasin Malik etc.
The militant further revealed that ultimately he realized that Jammat –ud- Dawa and Falah-e- Insaniyat, the so called charitable organisation of LeT are actually accumulating money for Jihadi activities.
He further confessed that he came to realization at later stage that no brother and son of any terrorist leader like Hafiz Sayeed, Sayed Sallah-ud-Din etc have participated in Jihad and are enjoying their life in foreign country whereas poor children of Pakistan are being brain washed to cause militant activities on the pretext of false atrocities on Kashmiri people by India and thereby decided to come to India as he was fed up with Pakistan.
The BSF has handed over the LeT militant to local police for registration of FIR and further questioning.
