Interrogation Report prepared by Hyderabad CIC

I along with AtifAmeenand others discussed about our next plan of action (after

the Sankatmochan Blasts) and decided to plant bombs in Mumbai local trains in

Western Railway First Class compartments, in which Gujaratis travel frequently.

I informed the same to AmeerRaza, who asked us to accomplish the task without

any risk. Accordingly, we planted the bombs in Mumbai local trains between

Church Gate, Shividi and Dadar in between 5.30 pm to 5.55 pm. At about 6.30 pm

all the bombs exploded and many people died in the blasts. I reached Abu

Rasheds uncle house, where I watched the TV.On 13.11.2006, I and Atif left Mumbai for Azamgarh and others went back to

their respective places.

Interrogation Report prepared by Karnataka Police

Mumbai serial train blasts planning: After two or three months (of the

Sankatmochan Blasts) while Atif and myself were roaming in the market, Atif

told me that we will do some new planning. We decided that we will do some

blastings in Mumbai local trains. We wanted to keep the bombs in Ist class

compartments where more Gujarathi people travel and it will be like revenge ofGujarat roits. AmerRaza used to arrange the funding for the blasts through


4/7

Western Union or Hawala. We told this to AmerRaza who asked us to be

cautious while executing this plan. He told us that he will arrange for the

explosive through Riyaz. Atif went to Delhi and I spoke to Dr.Shahnawaz and

Abu Rasheed and told them about the Mumbai blasts and they stated that they

will also participate. I told Abu Rasheed to go to Mumbai and arrange for one

flat.

In June 2006 I came to Mumbai and after 10 days Abu Rasheed and Shahnawaz

also came to Mumbai. Abu Rasheed used to work in GKB optical shop in Andheri

west and used to stay in Sewri with his uncle. Abu Rasheed took one flat on rent

in Sewri and we started staying in it. It was June end or July starting. Atif also

came from Delhi to Sewri. One Sajid R/o Andheri East N/o Sanjarpur who was

recruited by Atif also agreed and joined us. I once again contacted AmerRaza

and he gave one telephone number of Riyaz and I contacted Riyaz who told me

that he will deliver the explosive at Mangalore.

Collection of Explosive by Atif at Mangalore:Atif went to Mangalore and brought

the explosive from Riyaz. It was about 30 to 35 Kgs of explosive which was light

cream in colour. The company name Ameen Explosives was written on the bagof the explosives. They were like tubes. We decided to make 7 bombs which will

be placed in 7 cookers. Myself, Atif, Dr.Shahnawaz went and purchased the

cookers, bags and prepared 7 bombs. The timers were brought by me from

ArifBadr while I was coming to Mumbai. Myself and Atif prepared the bombs and

set the timers of 4 hours. We brought the train timetable book and decided on

the trains in which bombs are to be kept. We took the Ist class railway passes.

Earlier we even did reccee at Churchgate. We were 5 persons and the bombs

were 7.

Mumbai Train Blasts: We made some planning and on 11th July we assembled in

the early morning and by the time we did the packing it was 2 P.M. It was

decided that I will go first with one bag and go to Dadar and from there to

Churchgate and keep the bag in Ist class compartment of the selected train and I

will get down at the next station Merinlines and again go back to Churchgate.

Next Atif will leave with two bags and come to Churchgate. I will meet Atif at

Churchgate and take one bag from him and be both will board the selected trains

and keep the bags in them. After placing the bombs Atif will get down at Dadar

and from there he will go to Sewri. I will get down at Merinlines and come back

to Churchgate. Abu Rasheed and Sajid will take one bag each and keep the bags

in the selected trains. Abu Rasheed will get down at Dadar and return to Sewri.

Sajid will get down at Bandra and proceed to his house at Mahakali, Andheri

East. Lastly Dr.Shahnawaz will come to Churchgate with two bags and by that

time I will return to Churchgate and take on bag from Shahnawaz and we both

will keep the bags in the selected trains. Shahnawaz and myself will get down at

Dadar from our respective trains and return to Sewri flat. All the bombs were

planned at 1830 hrs and I got down at Dadar at 1820 hrs after placing the last

bomb in the selected train. As planned everything went accordingly and the

blastings occurred in the local trains. We returned to our village after that. On

13th Sep myself and Atif went to Azamgarh and Dr.Shahnawaz went to Lucknow.Abu Rasheed and Sajid started their regular work in Mumbai.

Explosion in Bombay trains

While Atif (Ameen) and I were in Sanjarpur we decided to strike once again. This

time we decided to hit Bombay. Since we had no explosive material left with uswe contacted Aamirraza for explosives and told him about this plan. Aamirraza

said yes to our programme and asked us to contact Riyaz on mobile. The mobile

no of Riyaz were given to us by Aamirraza. Riyaz always kept changing his

mobile numbers. After this Aatif went to delhi and I came to Bombay. I asked

Abu Rashid to arrange for a room. Abu Rashid arranged a room in the Siwdi area

on the pretext that some of my friends are coming to Bombay for preparation of

interview. Abu Rashid belongs to Bombay and lives in Siwdi area. He originally

belongs to Azamgarh. when the room was arranged Shehnawaz came from

Azamgarh , Atif came from delhi, and I came from my Bombay house to stay in

this house. When we contacted Riyaz on his mobile no he said you come to

Bangalore to collect the explosive. Atif went to Bangalore and came back with 35

kgs. of explosive. During this period Aatif had talked to Sajid for participating in

this operation. Sajid, who stays in mahakaliandheri area, and also belongs to

Azamgarh visited us two three times. During this period we purchased railway

time table, pressure cooker and bags. Railway pass was procured for all of us. On

11thjuly all of us assembled at the flat in the morning. ( Dr. shehnawaz, Aatif, Abu

Rashid and I were already on the flat. sajid also joined us on that day) then we

all put the explosives in the cookers. I had already collected timers from Aarif

while coming to Bombay. I had brought 8 timers with me. We put four and half

hours time in the timers. Around 4 we started from our flat. I was the first one to

leave the flat. Atif left after me with two bags. Abu Rashid and Sajid left with onebag. Dr. shehnawaz was the last one to leave with two bags. All of us reached

church gate. We got into different trains and left the explosive in different trains.

After this incident we all went to our flat in Siwdi and stayed there for a day and

left. I and Aatif went to Azamgarh, Dr. Shahnawaz went to Lucknow. Abu Rashid

and sajid started going to their jobs respectively.

Interrogation Report prepared by the Mumbai Crime Branch

7/11 Mumbai train blasts

In 2006 Atif and I had detailed discussions about the Gujarat riots. To teach

Gujarat a lesson we decided to bomb the first class compartments. We thought so

because the Gujaratis used to travel in first class compartments.

We sent an email to Amir Raza about our plans. Amir Raza advised us to carry

out the blasts with utmost care.

I told Amir Raza that Id carefully study the timetable of the trains.Amir Raza sent Rs50,000 throughhawala to Atif in Delhi.

We informed DrShahnawaz and Abu Rashid.

I told Abu Rashid to find a place on rent close to where he stayed in Shiwri.

ArifBadar made eight timers for this task.

On 15 June 2006 I brought the timers. DrShahnawaz and Abu Rashid also set outfor Mumbai.


6/7

At the time I was using BPL sim card. I had bought the sim card from a shop at

Cheetah Camp. I had provided a copy of my driving license for buying the card.

At that time Abu Rashid rented out a place on the fourth floor of Raza

Cooperative Hsg Society.

I told my family that I was leaving for Pune for searching a job and will be away

for 10-12 days and I came to stay at the Siwri flat.Atif and DrShahnawaz also came to stay at the flat.

Abu Rashid and Sajid also came to the flat a couple of times.

I got first class passes from Churchgate to Andheri made for DrShahnawaz, Atif,

Sajid and myself.

We used to travel from Churchgate to Andheri to study the timetable. We studied

which trains left churchgate at what time and which trains would get cancelled.

We practiced travelling as ordinary commuters.

I contacted Amir Raza in the meantime and told him that I needed more material

for bomb-making. Amir Raza gave me RiazBhatkals number and told me to get in

touch with him.

I contacted Riaz from a PCO in Siwri. He told me to send a man to Mangalore to

collect the explosives. I sent Atif to Mangalore by bus.

Two days later Atif returned by Volvo bus to Mumbai. He brought with him 35

kgs of explosives and 10-12 detonators.

DrShahnawaz, Atif, Abu Rashid and I purchased 5 litre pressure cookers on

different days from different shops. We thus purchased 7 pressure cookers.

We preferred pressure cookers as it held the explosives together quite well. And

we knew that the better the explosives were packed better were the results of

the blasts. Thats why we preferred pressure cookers over boxes.

We didnt buy branded pressure cookers. Ordinary pressure cookers cost us Rs

300 per piece.We bought many nylon bags of different colours from different vendors outside

Siwri railway station.

On 11 June 2006 Drshahnawaz, Abu Rashid, Atif, Sajid and I assembled at the

Siwri flat.

DrShahnawaz, atif and I started making the bombs. We filled approx 5 kg

explosives in each pressure cooker. I pulled out two wires through the whistle

hole and attached them to the timer.

At 2 pm we set the timers for 4 hours later.

We knew that all the blasts would not happen at the same time because the

timers were assembled and there would be variation of 10-15 mins.

We placed the bombs in nylon luggage bags.

I was the first to leave the place with one bag of bomb. I took a taxi to Dadar

railway station.

Then Atif with two bags left for Dadar by taxi.

Rashid and Sajid too brought one bag each by taxi to Dadar.

DrShahnawaz then came with two bombs to dadar by taxi.

I took the train from Dadar to Churchgate and after reaching Churchgate I got

into a train on platform no 1. I placed the bag on the luggage rack and came to

the door. I got off at marine Drive and again took the train to churchgate. Atif was

waiting for me at the station.

I took one bag from him and again took a train. I again put the bag on the luggagerack and got off at marine Drive. Again I went back to Churchgate station.


7/7

DrShahnawaz was waiting for me at the station. I took one bag from him and got

into another train. I got off at Dadar railway station and took the taxi to Siwri. I

reached the room by 18:4519:00.

DrShahnawaz, Atif and Abu Rashid were already there at the room.

Sajid was supposed to go straight to his Andheri house after planting the bomb.

We roamed around in Siwri to measure the response and the fear that the blastshad created.

On 13 July 2008 we left the Siwri flat. Atif and I left for Azamgarh. DrShahnawaz

went back to Lucknow.
