Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas faked as Maharashtrian in Kerala

Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas, a Pakistani national and Indian Mujahideen terrorist arrested last month by Delhi Police's special cell from Ajmer, had lived as a Maharashtrian in Munnar, Kerala.

Waqas lived in Munar in the last months of 2013 faking as Nabil Ahmad and gave an address of Pune to his landlord.

He told his landlord that he works a company involved in marketing of mobile phones.

"During interrogations, Waqas said that his landlord used to ask questions about his work, and was quite aprehensive about him," said senior police official.

Waqas had lived in Munnar for two odd months and close to Christmas Tehseen also joined him there. Tehseen stayed there for one week in which they planned to spread IM module in South India and Rajasthan.

Waqas while living in Munnar had financial problems and had received an amount of Rs 25,000 from someone called Ahmad through Western Union money transfer.

"Riyaz who is in Pakistan had given instruction to Tehseen to join Waqas in Munar in plan out operation in various states in the country. Tehseen was told to stay in hotel but since it was Christmas time, all hotels were occupied and he had to stay with him," said the officer.

Waqas was arrested by Delhi Police from Ajmer, Rajasthan along with three other IM operatives from Jaipur and Jodhpur last month. Waqas is considered to be a big catch as he's master in making ids and was trained in a LeT in FATA, Pakistan.
