IM aimed at setting off stampede at Modi’s rally to kill women and children in large numbers

PATNA/NEW DELHI: Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu, Indian Mujahideen’s new commander, masterminded the bomb attack on Narendra Modi’s crowded rally to kill women and children in large numbers by setting off a stampede, and was present at Gandhi Maidan to supervise the bombers as they ringed the rally ground with explosives

This was revealed by IM operative Imtiaz Ansari who was fortuitously arrested with explosives and has since provided vital leads on the bombers and the terror plot. “Hamara uddeshya tha aatank faile aur bhag daur main kafi sankhya mein mahilayen aur bachche maren (Our objective was to trigger fear so that many women and children get killed in the resultant rush),” Imtiaz was quoted as saying in the FIR registered by Patna Police.

“Muzaffarnagar mein bahut Muslim maare gaye hain, aur tum sirf namaz hi padhte raho (Many Muslims got killed in Muzaffarnagar and all that you people do is to offer namaz),” Tehsin exhorted his associates, according to Imtiaz. This was noted in the FIR.

The incendiary exhortation of Tehsin, who used the alias of Memon for the Patna attack, had the desired effect with Imtiaz and others getting motivated to carry out a spectacular attack. “Yeh sun kar yeh bhi uttejit hue aur koi bada kaam karne ka tay hua,” the FIR said.

Sources also quoted Imtiaz acknowledging the involvement of Tehsin, a resident of Samastipur district in Bihar, in the serial bomb blasts on Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya in July: a terror attack scripted in retaliation against the alleged killings of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
