Residing in a humble locality at Highland Co-operative Housing Society in Narendra Park area of Mira Road, Mohammed Usman Qureshi, father of arrested Students Islamic Movements of India (SIMI) alleged terror suspect Abdul Qureshi applauds the arrest of his son in the hope that the Indian Judiciary system will declare him innocent one day.

Usman Qureshi stays with his wife Zubeda on the sixth floor apartment at Highland CHS in Nayanagar area of Mira road. Neighbhours remember Abdul to be a very hardworking and religious man. Naya Nagar and Kanakia police of Thane Rural police department often visited the Qureshi residence to gather information about Abdul.

“I remember Abdul teaching Quran at a local madarassa and also teaching academics to students in the locality. But we never knew about his involvement in terror activities until media reports with his picture were flashed,” said Dr. Mohammed Hamid, a local resident.

Usman Qureshi said, “I remember that he had informed us once about he being working with SIMI. But it was only for preaching and not for terror activities. I am happy that he has been arrested and the court will declare him innocent. For me my son is innocent and the charges against him are false as he has been never involved in terror activities.”

“Since he left the house we have never heard from him. The police officers often come to our house to gather information and every time I have to tell them that we do not have any such information,” said Qureshi.

Zubeda, mother of Abdul alias Tauqeer, said, “The government has falsely implicated my son. But truth will soon come out.”
