New Delhi: Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed had deliberations with intelligence agency of Pakistan, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), on the issue of terrorist Mohammed Naved Yakub, who along with his accomplice Noman alias Momin had ambushed a Border Security Force (BSF) contingent in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district last week, a report said on Friday.
Naved is currently under the custody of India's premier terror investigation agency NIA.
The news report said that the meeting between Saeed and ISI officials was held 3-4 days back in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.
Pakistan State Minister for Interior Baleeghur Rehman on Thursday said: “The JuD has been put on the list of suspected organisations and appropriate action will be taken against it if it (the organisation) is found involved in any activity other than charity work.”
Two terrorists ambushed and killed two BSF troopers on the Srinagar-Jammu highway in Udhampur district last Wednesday. After one of the terrorists was killed, the other, now identified as Naved, fled to a village and took shelter in a house but was caught by three villagers.
Meanwhile, NIA chief Sharad Pawar has confirmed that Naved belongs to Pakistan and was part of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba, which trained him in use of arms and ammunition and for recruiting cadre for expansion of the terror group.
Naved, who is in his early 20s, is said to hail from Faisalabad.
The NIA has secured his custodial remand till August 24.
Naved's accomplice was killed in retaliatory fire and Naved was captured by villagers whom had taken hostage.
NIA has booked the Pakistani terrorist under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for waging war against the nation, besides provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Arms Act.
