29/10: Chargesheet against Dar, 2 others

NEW DELHI: The Delhi serial bomb blasts case entered a crucial stage on Saturday when the Delhi Police filed a chargesheet against alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant Tariq Ahmed Dar and two others.
Dar, Ghulam Ahmed Khan and Farooq Ahmed have been charged with offences under Section 17 (raising funds for the purpose of committing a terrorist act) and Section 18 (conspiring to facilitate terrorist act) of the Unlawful Activities (prevention) Act in the chargesheet filed before additional chief metropolitan magistrate Kanwaljit Arora.
"The three accused had played a crucial role in collection and disbursement of funds for facilitating the blasts," says the chargesheet, which is related to a fourth FIR registered in the case on November 27 and solely pertaining to unlawful activities and role in hawala transactions of the three accused.
The first three FIRs revolve around the blasts at Sarojini Nagar market on October 29 last year, Paharganj and in a bus in Govindpuri, respectively.

Dar, arrested on November 9 from Srinagar, has been accused of coordinating and financing the blasts. He hatched the plot along with two Lashkar commanders in Jammu and Kashmir �� Abu Alqama and Abu Huzefa. The latter was recently killed in an encounter in Srinagar.
According to the chargesheet, Rs 6.86 lakh had been deposited in Dar's account in HDFC bank in Srinagar from a Middle-east country just before the blasts.
Police maintain that though Dar himself was not in Delhi at the time of the blasts, he was the "financier, coordinator, spokesperson and frontman of Lashkar."
Ghulam Ahmed Khan and Farooq Ahmed were arrested from Jammu and Kashmir on November 24 on the basis of information provided by Dar during his interrogation.
