AURANGABAD: The Aurangabad Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested one Mangesh Doiphode, a SIM card vendor, for selling 15 SIM cards to people, including a local accomplice of terrorists. He was arrested on Saturday evening, from Chite Pimpalgaon village near Aurangabad. The SIM cards were activated in April 2007.
Doiphode, owner of ‘Gauri enterprises’, a mobile shop, later confessed to have made fake residential certificates and to have forged signatures and stamps of Chite Pimpalgaon sarpanch.
On September 19, the Delhi police squad headed by encounter specialist police inspector Mohan Sharma, went to Batala House in Jamianagar, Delhi. Two terrorists were killed and PI Mohan Sharma lost his life in the encounter which followed. The third terrorist, Mohammed Asif, was arrested. “After going through the mobile phone records of the terrorists, it was found that they were receiving calls from Aurangabad.
Someone from Aurangabad was in constant touch with them,” said Rajkumar Sonavane, police inspector, ATS Aurangabad.
The Mumbai ATS was informed who transferred the assignment to Aurangabad ATS on Friday last.
While inquiring about the mobile number from which the call was made, ATS Aurangabad PSI Shyamsunder Choudhari went to Chite Pimplegaon and found that the mobile number was in the name of Awez Aziz Shaikh. However, no one by that name lived there. The police then searched for the shop from where the SIM cards were sold and arrested Doiphode.
SA Bafna, judicial magistrate, Aurangabad, remanded Doiphode in police custody for 12 days.
