Bhubaneswar: Suspected Al-Qaeda facilitator Mohammed Abdur Rehman, who was arrested by a joint team of Delhi Police and Commissionerate Police December 16, had reportedly received Rs 30,000 from a London-based person in 2015, according to Commissionerate Police officials.
Police officials are looking into his bank accounts to ascertain details of his financial transactions, according to twin city police commissioner Rajendra Prasad Sharma.
“Cuttack DCP Sanjeev Arora has been instructed to look into the bank accounts of Rehman. We are trying to find out how many bank accounts he has. We are also probing the funds Rehman received for his madrasa in Tangi area,” Sharma said.
“A fresh case against Rehman has been registered in Jagatpur police station under sections 17, 18, 18(B) and 20. The persons who had been detained for their association with Rehman have been let off as of now because no substantial evidence was found against them,” he said.
The police commissioner said so far no leads have emerged about Rehman having visited Pakistan.
Commissionerate police officials said the Delhi Police’s special cell has taken all the documents of Rehman’s madrasa and are probing various aspects about the functioning of the seminary.
“Rehman is thought to have had links with a man who had succumbed to injuries in a failed attempt to ram an explosives-laden jeep into the Glasgow International Airport in Scotland in 2007,” Sharma had said earlier.
