Police submit report on Kafeel to Interpol

The UK Government had sought the report through the Interpol soon after the death of Kafeel following his failed attempt to ram a burning jeep into Glasgow airport on June 28. Kafeel, an aeronautical engineer who suffered severe burns, died in hospital. The CBI forwarded the UK request to the CoD.

Sources said the report sent to UK contains details of financial transactions carried out by Kafeel and his family including transfer of funds to India by Kafeel and purchase and sale of properties. The report contains details of communications and files retrieved from a computer hard disk belonging to Kafeel that was recovered from his home in Bangalore.

The investigators have also tracked down the movements of Kafeel and his younger brother Sabeel Ahmed on their trips to India and have provided detailed information on the number of times they had flown out of India and the places they had visited.

Sabeel Ahmed and the brothers’ cousin Mohammed Haneef, both doctors, had also been arrested from UK and Australia respectively after the attack.

While Dr Haneef was released with the Australian police failing to produce any evidence after detaining him for almost a month, Sabeel Ahmed was convicted in the UK for withholding information on the UK terror plot. Sabeel was deported and arrived in India on May 8.

Sources said Sabeel had been summoned to be questioned while the report was being prepared by the detective agency of the Karnataka Police but he had refused to divulge anything and said he needed legal representation.
