Pune: Suspected Indian
Mujahiddeen operative Qateel Mohammed Jaffer Siddiqui, named in
the German Bakery blast here and the Bangalore terror attacks, was
Friday found murdered inside his cell in Pune's Yerawada Central
Jail, police said.
Siddiqui was found strangled with a thin rope inside his cell in
the high-security jail, a police official told IANS.
Preliminary investigations point to a gang war among members of
rival mafia gangs in the prison which could have led to Siddiqui's
killing.
Siddiqui had been caught by Delhi Police in November 2011.
He was arrested for involvement in the Chinnaswamy Stadium blast
in Bangalore besides an aborted bid to blow up the Shrimant
Dagdusheth Halwai Ganesh Temple in Pune last year.
Following the incident, security has been beefed up in several
jails including Mumbai's Arthur Road Central Jail where Pakistani
terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab is lodged and Raigad's Taloja
Jail where extradited don Abu Salem is lodged after he was
attacked by rival gangsters in a Mumbai jail last year.
The Maharashtra government has ordered a CID probe into the
incident, a home ministry official said in Mumbai Friday.
Home Minister R.R. Patil also ordered the suspension of jail
superintendent S.V. Khatavkar for alleged negligence which led to
the killing of Siddiqui who was under judicial custody.
A team of the Mumbai Police's Anti-Terrorist Squad has also been
rushed to Pune to assist the local police who are investigating
the case.
