Home Ministry directs Maha Govt for action against ATS officials over report leak | The Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday directed the Maharashtra Government to take action against Mumbai Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) officials who revealed details to media about the Pakistani link of the terror suspects arrested on Saturday. Earlier,
a detailed press briefing by Mumbai ATS chief K P Raghuvanshi had revealed that
arrested Mumbai residents, Abdul Latif and Riyaz Ali, were in touch with a
Pakistan-based
"Chacha." The revelation to the media prompted "Chacha" to go off the interception
radar of the central intelligence agencies. This episode, on Monday, prompted
Home Ministry to rap the Maharashtra police. "We lost Uncle ... Chachaji is no
more," said a senior Home Ministry official, who described the revelation as a
"hit on the head for us." Latif and Riyaz Ali, residents of Bandra and Dahisar
respectively, were arrested by ATS on March 13 near Matunga railway station.
They
were allegedly preparing to carry out terror strikes at an Oil and Natural Gas
Facility (ONGC) facility in Mumbai, besides Thakkar Mall in Borivali and
Mangaldas Market in south Mumbai. |
