Ajmal Kasab kidnapped from Nepal before 2006: lawyer

RAWALPINDI: A Pakistani lawyer C M Farooque claimed that many people, including Ajmal Kasab, were arrested before 2006 from Kathmandu by the Indian agencies with the help of Nepalese forces.

He said Ajmal Kasab went to the Napalese capital on a business tour. His application regarding his arrest was lying pending in the Nepalese Supreme Court in which a reply was sought from Nepalese forces and Indian High Commission.

While talking to the Geo News, C M Farooque Advocate said the Nepalese forces arrested almost 200 people including Ajmal Kasab before 2006 and his application in this regard was lying pending in the Nepalese Supreme Court in which Nepalese forces and Indian High Commission were made respondents.

The advocate said he wrote letters to Pakistan and Indian governments in this regard. He said that he had also addressed a press conference in Nepal highlighting the issue in which he revealed that the Nepalese forces arrested Ajmal Kasab and many others and held them at an unknown place and that these people would be used for their ulterior designs at some later stage. He said that he had no contact with Ajmal Kasab ever since he disappeared.

The lawyer said he was still pleading the case of Kasab and was to visit Nepal towards the end of this month. The Nepalese Supreme Court had repeatedly issued notices to the respondents to furnish their reply but they did not submit any reply.

Advocate Farooque said he had filed the petition in the Nepalese Supreme Court in February 2008. He said he was running an NGO, ‘Voice of Human and Prisoners Rights’ and the parents of Ajmal Kasab contacted him for help in this regard after appealing to the Pakistan Government for help.

The people arrested in Nepal had gone there on legal visa for business but Indian agencies were in the habit of capturing Pakistanis from Nepal and afterwards implicated them in the Mumbai-like incidents to malign Pakistan.

NGO has proof Kasab was in Nepal

ISLAMABAD: A local NGO working for prisoners’ rights on Thursday claimed that India had kidnapped several Pakistani nationals in the recent years to prove their involvement in its state managed terror acts so as to accuse Pakistan as a terror-supporting country.


The Voice for the Human and Prisoners Rights (VH&PRs) fears that those still in Indian authorities’ secret detention could be used for ulterior motives, as Muhammad Ajmal was in the Mumbai attacks.
VH&PRs Chairman Chaudhry Muhammad Farooq told our sources here on telephone from Lahore that he would push for visas to visit Nepal and India so as to pursue his objective of exposing the Indian drama and recovering around 250 Pakistanis, who were taken into custody in Nepal, and several of them were languishing in India’s secret cells.
He brushed aside the Islamabad-based Nepalese envoy Bala Bahadur Kanwal’s rejection of his (Farooq) claim that Ajmal never visited his country and that he was not handed over to the Indian authorities. The VH&PRs chief pointed out the word ‘Kasab’ was added to Ajmal’s name by the Indians to prove him as a ferocious character, whereas he was a peace-loving citizen and a businessman.
Farooq said he had details of several other unfortunate Pakistanis, who had visited Nepal purely as tourists or for business purposes, but had landed in Indian agencies’ hands. In this connection, he mentioned Waleed Sajjad, who was presently in Lodhi Colony’s cell in New Delhi, managed by a police officer Mohan Chand Sharma.
Usually, he said, groups of five to seven Pakistanis often visited Nepal to boost their business opportunities, but unfortunately, several of them, about whom he had the data, were arrested from hotels in Kathmandu and later sent to the Indian jails. He said Ajmal had visited Nepal in 2006 like many other Pakistanis, and his parents approached him in mid-2007. Farooq said he could manage to visit Nepal in February this year, where he filed a habeas corpus petition in the Nepalese Supreme Court and afterwards, notices were issued to the concerned parties. But he had to return home after he was told his life was under grave threat. Farooq instead had wanted to go to India as well on this count. Farooq wants to proceed to Nepal as early as possible to be a part of the hearings in the apex court there.
