According to sources, Naushad Ali, the terrorist arrested in the national capital’s Jahangirpuri area, has made significant revelations before the Delhi Police, stating that he received instructions from his Pakistani handlers and attempted to travel to Pakistan through Nepal twice but failed.
Naushad Ali and his associate Jagjit Singh alias Jagga were arrested last Thursday in Delhi. They were in touch with terrorists of the Harkat-ul Ansar outfit and the Hizbul Mujahideen, which has been designated as a terror outfit in India.
According to sources, during the Special Cell interrogation, Naushad revealed that he was constantly receiving orders from Pakistani handlers Asfaq and Suhail. Asfaq alias Arif, a Pakistani terrorist, was in constant contact with Naushad.

Asfaq alias Arif is a special member of the terrorist organization Lashkar e Taiba. “It was Arif who got Naushad to meet Suhail, another Pakistani terrorist. Suhail is also a member of the terrorist organization LeT, which is currently operating from Pakistan,” sources said. “Suhail had prepared a plan to target some big leaders of Punjab,” sources added. Naushad revealed during the probe that when he was in jail, he had met Nadeem associated with the terrorist organization Harkat-ul-Ansar. “After coming out of jail on parole, Nadeem had inducted Naushad into the Harkat-ul-Ansar organization to work together for Jihad,” sources quoted him as saying.
Naushad, who was imprisoned for murder for 25 years, was released in 2018 and has since begun working at the request of Pakistani terrorist Suhail. According to sources, Naushad also visited Nepal twice in 2019 in order to find a way to travel from Nepal to Pakistan.
“But the Nepali officer through whom he was getting his Nepali passport made, was arrested on charges of bribery. And he was not able to escape to Pakistan,” sources said. Naushad had been lodged in different jails in India for almost 27 years and during that time he kept meeting the terrorists of Pakistani terrorist organizations, after which he started working for them.
