Police release photographs of three persons wanted in several criminal cases
In the backdrop of murder of two Hindu outfit leaders, the police have announced rewards for those who could provide information leading to the arrest of three persons wanted in many criminal cases.
The Madurai district and Madurai city police have separately released the photographs of Bilal Malik and Police Fakhrudheen, both from Madurai, and Panna Ismail alias Ismail of Melapalayam of Tirunelveli district.
The first two are wanted in the October-2011 case of planting a powerful pipe bomb on the convoy route of Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani at Alampatti in Madurai district.
The police have cited Bilal and Police Fakhrudheen as the prime accused in the case. The Special Investigation Team that arrested one of the key accused persons in the case, M. Hanifa alias Nagoor Hanifa (35), at Dindigul on July 8, had seized a newspaper cutting containing the photograph of a Hindu outfit functionary. The police said Hanifa and his accomplices were trying to take revenge on some of the leaders of Hindu outfits.
Bilal was accused in the murders of A.R. Kalidoss, a Hindu Makkal Katchi leader, and Gangadaran Poosari in Madurai in 2005, the police said.
These people accused in some old cases were absconding for quite sometime, the Inspector General of Police (South Zone), Abhay Kumar Singh, told The Hindu .
“They are wanted in the old cases. Since they are absconding, we do not know whether they are involved in any fresh cases,” he said.
The police also pointed out that few fundamentalists from Tamil Nadu had been arrested in connection with the Bangalore bomb blasts.
The statements said that the identity of the people who provided tip off about these criminals would be kept confidential.
