THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Central intelligence agencies have expressed serious concern over the handling of suspected LeT operative Thadiyantavide Nazeer by the Kerala police. Top officials of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) are learnt to have informed Union Home Minister P Chidambaram that ‘certain black sheep in the Kerala police are trying to help Nazeer.’ The Home Ministry is likely to seek an explanation from the state government on the matter soon, sources said.
The charges levelled against the police range from taking Nazeer to court without covering his face and giving him enough opportunities to talk to the media. Moreover, the media is aware of Nazeer’s movements. The lapses would derail the investigation into terrorist activities against the nation, intelligence agencies said.
The intelligence officials also told the Home Minister that Nazeer’s statement to the media in Ko chi on Wednesday that he did not give any statement against Madhani is not true. Nazeer had revealed his links with Madhani during the interrogation by the National Investigation Agency and Karnataka police.
“Though the National Investigation Agency had taken Nazeer to several places for investigation, they ensured that his face did not appear in the media. However, the Kerala police seem to have deliberately presented Nazeer to the media which raises many suspicions,’’ an Intelligence Bureau official said.
