2 Bangladeshis among 4 \\\'HUJI men\\\' held in India

A day before India’s 69th Independence Day, a special police task force arrested four-suspected Harkat-ul-Jihad Al-Islami (HUJI) members from Hyderabad city of Madhya Pradesh on Friday. Police said the arrested include a Pakistani national, two Bangladeshis and a Mayanmarese national from the Old City area. Police learnt that the Pakistani national Mohammed Nazi and four others have been taking shelter in a house in Chanchalguda area for the last two months. City police said that Nazir has been in India for the last five years and officials are investigating about their activities and affiliation with HUJI and possible terror links. All four were staying using fake passports and some incriminating material was seized from them, police said. “We are still verifying about their intentions of illegal stay in the city. They are already in possession of several fake ID proofs in their names. These four members have been in touch with two locals who were facilitating their stay,” a senior police official said. In the past, Hyderabad had the history of having HUJI sympathisers and some people are still in jail for their links with the outfit, according to Times of India.
