Kashmiri man carrying ‘codes’ arrested in Delhi

A Kashmiri man carrying suspicious-looking codes was arrested in Delhi on Wednesday. This man is reported to be a resident of the Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir and had been caught roaming around the Parliament by the CRPF personnel upon raising suspicion.

He had been giving misleading information to the police upon interrogation following which he was arrested. A sheet containing mysterious code was later recovered from him. His Aadhaar and driving licence has been seized amongst other belongings. Notably, both of the IDs have different names. His Aadhar identifies him to be Manzoor Ahmed Ahanger, while his name has been mentioned as Firdaus in the driving licence.

A bag has also been found from him. According to the CRPF officials, the arrested person has been changing his statements which aroused further suspicion about him.

First, he said that he had come to Delhi in 2016. Then he said that he had come to the national capital during the coronavirus-induced lockdown. He told the CRPF officials that he has been staying in Delhi since then. The man, whose identity is not clear yet, said that he first stayed in Jamia locality, then near the Jama Masjid area in Nizamuddin. He is now in the custody of Delhi Police.
