Delhi police have detained and questioned the automobile dealer who had sold a second-hand motorbike to Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists involved in the December 13 attack on the Parliament House as raids were conducted at several places in the capital to track down more contacts of the attackers. Delhi police personnel picked up the dealer from his shop in Karol Bagh in central Delhi Thursday evening and questioned him for several hours, police sources said.
The dealer is said to have sold the Yamaha motorbike for Rs 20,000 to Shaukat Hussain, an arrested accomplice of the five terrorists who were killed while trying to storm the Parliament House.
The motorbike was used by the terrorists to conduct reconnaisance around the parliament complex and adjoining areas. The dealer was asked to identify Shaukat and questioned about the circumstances in which he sold the motorcycle, the sources said.
Meanwhile, information from the laptop recovered from two arrested accomplices of the five killed terrorists, is being collated and leads are being probed, Delhi police sources said, claiming a lot of vital information had been received from it.
