Kasargod: Accused in Fake Currency Racket Funded Terror Outfits

Kasargod, Nov 4: In a fresh development, the National Intelligence Association (NIA) has learnt that Abubakkar, prime accused arrested in the counterfeit currency racket, has links with terrorist organizations and has been funding them.
Abubakar, native of Akkarammal, Ballakadapura in Kanhangad, was arrested in connection with the supply of fake currency printed in Pakistan and supplied to Kerala via Abu Dhabi.
The NIA has now come across information that Abubakar used to fund terrorist acitvities in north Kerala
He had taken refuge in Saudi Arabia for past several years, and was extradited to India with the help of the Interpol. As soon as he landed at Delhi airport, he was arrested by the NIA.
He had migrated to the Gulf 20 years ago and had settled down in Abu Dhabi with his wife and two children. He came into contact with Pakistan's ISI, and went into hiding after he was booked under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act) and several other cases.
He targetted people who came to the Gulf on visiting visas, or those whose visas had expired or those without jobs, and promise them jobs as well as pay their travel expenses and even arrange air tickets for them. He would then hand over parcels (containing fake notes) to them, addressed to his 'relatives', which his victims would faithfully deliver to the person designated by Abubakar. This way, counterfeit currency worth crores were smuggled in. The fake notes were originally printed in Karachi, Pakistan, and supplied to Abu Dhabi in containers.
The racket was busted after Abubakar's brother Kamal and two others were arrested on September 18, 2011 when they were trying to transport Rs 8.6 lac in car. Their interrogation revealed facts about Abubakar. The Interpol's assistance was sought to catch hold of Abubakar who was absconding abroad.
Meanwhile, suspicion arose that Abubakar may be in contact with Moidin Haji, resident Moolur in Udupi, whose five accomplices were caught after they tried to purchase gold worth Rs 1.8 lac at Malabar Gold jewellers with fake notes, in August 2011. The arrested had admitted that Moidin Haji had supplied the notes from the Gulf.
Abubakar has been remanded in judicial custody for five days by the Ernakulam court. More details are expected after his interrogation.

Mon, Nov 05 2012It is this type of few people who bring bad name for entire Kasaragod.
Surprisingly in recent years there is no respect for those people who earns legally and innocently and still struggle to live among our society.
Always keep a watch on those 'Zeroes' who become a big 'Hero' with in a shorter period of time. While evaluating any one give first preference to his source of income instead of his assets.

Mon, Nov 05 2012Dear Mohammed, Udupi:
It is our own Dawood Ibrahim printing Indian currency in Dubai. Cops have full details.
Bank has acted as per Reserve Bank instructions by not returning you the note. If it goes back into circulation, 100 others would be cheated.
So, to Allah we belong, and to Him may Dawood return.

Mon, Nov 05 2012Root cause of Fake currency is D Gang. It has got solid support from Godfather Pawar. All this peripheral branches are just a tip of the iceberg. Like Veerappan in TN Ktk border years earlier, political support is the key. Any one down.

Mon, Nov 05 2012NIA did their job by nabbing Abubakar but by the time they bring him to court for conviction may be few Senior Officers will get retired. May be Karnataka JDS will appoint one good Lawyer to look after Abubakar and soon he will fight MLA or MP Election from Karnataka region and same Police Men who arrested Abubakar will salute him with all respects constituted in Indian Constitution. We have very efficient Officers to nab these criminals but we still lack effective Judiciary to put them behind bar

Sun, Nov 04 2012People,
If you want to destroy a thorn then uproot the plant, not cut the branches
Root of this disease is Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, sitting in Karachi, Pakistan(Protected by ISI) and printing them and supplying it through these folks....
Unless you catch him and put him behind the bars,,, only suppliers change,,, game continues....
This cannot be done by UPA with Sharad Pawar in Union Cabinet for sure.
If NDA could do it, I don't know, when they were in power, they did not do much also, other than talking about it....
Jai Hooooooooooooooooooo

Sun, Nov 04 2012Congratulations!! Now, like Kasab, maintain him in a special heavy security cell, supply 5 star biriyani, give him legal defence, a bullet proof heavily guarded ICU in the Govt Hospital if he sneezes and go on and on for years. If I may suggest Mangalore Police, please find out how the Saudis treat the Riyal currency forgers just in pure 5 minutes. India Jai Ho!!!
