URGENT
Dear Colleagues ,
Confirming the assassination to which lawyers are being subjected to in India
, by covert agencies in cities and regions where bomb blasts are being planted
just as in Northern Ireland and being blamed on minorities . Lawyers coming
forward to assist them in their defence are being assassinated with assistance
from covert agencies from one city to another .
Reinforcing the report which I have forwarded there are other reports
from Karnataka that lawyers defending
accused who are innocent and fraudulently charged with terrorist acts or with
being members of the Indian Mujahideen among other such organizations are are
being shot. The organization itself is fake and created by covert agencies for
the divide and rule policy .
Violence is being deliberately fostered and generated by covert
agencies for a divide and rule policy . However this is now counterproductive
with all citizens questioning these covert acts as it is citizens who are
unsafe that is those with no
connections to elite circles .

‘The Indian Mujahideen is a figment of imagination’ “I don’t even know if
they are alive,” says the father, Ismail Shabandri (70).
His mother is quite vocal, while his father is soft-spoken. “Innocent youth
are being picked up. The lawyers who take the cases are shot in broad
daylight. If this goes on, we don’t know what all will happen,” says
Sayeeda.

Bhatkal was just another remote coastal town in Karnataka before “the most
wanted terror mastermind” — Riyaz Bhatkal — made it his surname.
Police on the terror trail from Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, Bangalore,
and Mangalore have visited this town on NH 17, two hours away from
Mangalore. The media has also thrown up his brother Iqbal’s name after the
Pune blast. They were last seen in this town in 2008 before they vanished.
Their family — father, mother, wives and seven children — live in Madina
colony. “You know why we are here? asked the Pune police. Yes, there’s been
a blast, we said,” says the mother, Sayeeda (60). They are used to such
visits now. “They accused my son without any investigation. The Indian
Mujahideen is just a figment of imagination. There is no proof against him
till date.”
They live in penury, a sharp contrast to the rest of the town. Relatives and
neighbours are scared to talk. The top floor of the house, which was turned
into a ‘laboratory for making bombs’ according to a local daily, now has an
examination schedule pasted on the wall. “I don’t even know if they are
alive,” says the father, Ismail Shabandri (70).
His mother is quite vocal, while his father is soft-spoken. “Innocent youth
are being picked up. The lawyers who take the cases are shot in broad
daylight. If this goes on, we don’t know what all will happen,” says
Sayeeda.
The residents don’t want to associate his name to the town. “His mother is
from Bhatkal but his father is from Modeshwar village. And he was born and
brought up in Mumbai,” says Mohammad Arif Ibrahim, his uncle. When his name
first came up in 2008, people were not ready to believe.
“His name is Riyaz Shabandari. Muslims don’t attach the name of the place.
It’s just a conspiracy to malign the reputation of Bhatkal,” says Mohammad
Haneef, a medical practitioner. Why would anybody want to do that?
“Jealousy,” he replies. An answer HT heard several times in the town. Even
from intelligence officers.
The town is inhabited by Navayath Muslims, traders who trace their origins
to Yemen. A quick drive around town shows how well they have prospered in
the Gulf. Prosperity greets you in the form of villas and mansions. Every
family has at least two members working in the Gulf. Riyaz’s family was
settled in Mumbai. His father, Ismail, too went to Bahrain and then Dubai.
Thus, he could educate Riyaz and Iqbal to become engineers.
It’s possible that two political speeches led to who and what Riyaz
Shabandri is today. In 1991, Uma Bharti’s speech, urging for the demolition
of Babri Masjid, was played on a loud speaker in front of Noor masjid. A
large-scale riots ensued and two Muslim youth were killed in police firing.
As the town slowly regained normalcy, the then Karnataka chief minister,
Veerappa Moily made a speech in 1993, blaming the BJP and the other right
wing outfits for triggering the riots. Trouble began to brew again. Bhatkal
was under curfew for over six months. Casualties: 17 dead. 13 Muslims. 4
Hindus.
Out of the 13 members that were mentioned along with Riyaz in the
chargesheet, after the Mumbai train blasts, 11 are from the area of
Mangalore and Bhatkal. “The area is divided, there is a lot of mistrust. It
is a fertile ground for terrorism,” says Subramanyesvara Rao, SP, Mangalore.
