Threat to UP CM Yogi Adityanath: STF arrests another youth in Nashik

LUCKNOW: Joint teams of UP STF and Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad arrested Sayyed Faisal Wahab, a commerce graduate from Nashik, for calling

SHO Gomtinagar

to release Kamran Ameen who was arrested for sending a threat message to ‘bomb CM Yogi Adityanath’ on Monday.

Wahab (20) was held from his bungalow in

Zeenat Manzil

,

Darul-Islam Colony

in

Madina Chowk

, in Nashik, Maharashtra late on Sunday night. IG STF Amitabh Yash told TOI that Faisal’s father, Abdul Wahab is a lecturer in Ambika Pratap Narayan Law PG College (APN) in Basti, UP. Yash said that Faisal was taking lessons in ‘Wahhabism’ from Madani centre Masjid and Darul-Islam Bajrang Nagar in Ambad, Nashik, where his uncle,

Anwar Sheikh

was a trustee.

Yash said that soon after the arrest of Kamran, Faisal first called up SHO Gomtinagar asking him to release Kamran and had also sent a message for the same to UP 112. He later deleted the message allegedly to conceal evidence. “We have got a two-day-transit remand of Faisal from Nashik court. Both Ameen and Faisal will be brought to Lucknow and interrogated,” IG said. So far the police have not been able to find any criminal record of the duo. TOI also spoke to Abdul Wahab who has been teaching law for the past 20 years at APN PG College. Wahab said that his son didn’t know Kamran.

“Shortly before his arrest, Faisal told me that he had seen Kamran’s photo on news channels and had just wanted to help him had hence sent a message to UP 112,” he said. He added that Faisal is a bright student and cannot be involved in spreading hatred in the country,” said Abdul.

Sources said a team of Local Intelligence Unit also questioned Abdul Wahab in connection with Faisal.
