To stay off the radar of intelligence agencies, Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal used to communicate with his module members through the chat services provided by pornographic websites.
Jundal was one of the handlers of the 10 Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives who had wrecked havoc in Mumbai on the night of November 26, 2008.
The module members have been using this means of communication even before the arms and ammunition seizure from Aurangabad in May 2006, said sources in the police department. Jundal was also involved in the arms seizure case.
“He used to chat with his module members from a cyber café in Aurangabad through such websites,” said a police officer, requesting anonymity.
“The police and intelligence agencies usually keep tabs on social networking sites and popular online chat services, but keeping a track of pornographic websites is very rare, limited and difficult.
Such websites claim that by purchasing their premium services, one can talk with girls through video calling, voice calling and online chatting,” he added.
One can also create a group on such websites and invite friends to chat.
“To lure customers, such websites claims that confidentiality will be maintained and no one will be able to access the chats,” the officer said.
During investigation, the police also come across a coded email which Jundal had sent to his superiors in Pakistan after the Karnavati Express blast at Ahmedabad station in Gujarat on February 19, 2006. Around 25 people were injured in the incident.
The email, which was sent from a yahoo ID of Jundal’s associate Mohammad Aquib Shaikh on February 26, 2006, from a cyber café in Aurangabad, read: “Dhandhe ka udghatan hogaya hai, 25 ko dawat kar di hai (Have inaugurated the business, 25 have been invited)”.
