A partially completed narco analysis test on Imran Sayeed, a suspect in the Hyderabad Mecca Masjid blast of May 18, has yielded some clues and could provide leads to the August 25 blasts case as well, officials connected with the “truth serum” test said on Tuesday. The test was conducted at the Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital here. “The subject showed knowledge of logistics and links being probed in the blasts case,” an official involved with the test said. The test was termed incomplete since several questions raised by the Hyderabad Police were yet to be explored and a second test will be conducted on Sayeed after a gap of around 72 hours, the officials said. Sayeed, a 23-year-old engineering student from Hyderabad who also worked part-time as an executive at a call centre of a bank in the city, first came under the police scanner in July this year, during the course of the Mecca Masjid blast probe. His name cropped up when investigators were looking at his relative Shoaib Jagirdar, a meat seller from Jalna in Maharashtra, in the Mecca Masjid probe. Jagirdar was found to have attempted to help his friend Sheikh Sameer, alias Nayeem, an alleged LeT operative obtain a passport in Hyderabad. Jagirdar reportedly used Sayeed and his friend Rafee, alias Sheikh Abdul Kaleem to help create the fake documents for the purpose. Though Jagirdar was initially arrested on May 25 for the May 18 Mecca Masjid blast case, on the basis of narco analysis revelations by Nayeem, he was later charged only under the Passport Act for using forged documents. The Hyderabad police had, however, in July-end filed applications before the XII Additional Chief Metropolitan’s Court to subject Sayeed and Rafee to narco tests. Rafee is scheduled to undergo a truth serum test on Wednesday in Bangalore.
