Experts were ascertaining if the computer seized by the police during a raid in Kozhikode, Kerala, was used by Mohammed Fahad, one of the two Pakistani militants arrested in Mysore recently, for carrying out covert transactions with the Al-Badr terror outfit and for sending e-mails to Pakistan.
"We are in the process of finding out if the computer was used by Fahad during his stay in Kozhikode to send e-mail messages to Pakistan and other activities like communicating with Al Badr outfit," Police Commissioner Balramkumar Upadhyaya told PTI.
However, he said, the seized material would soon be produced in the court and all actions would be carried out legally.
He replied in the negative when asked if any arrests had been made since
the seizure of the computer on Friday night. The computer was reportedly shifted to a neighbouring house from the residence of the first wife of Fahad's father at Kappad near Kozhikode.
Raids would continue at suspected hideouts based on time-to-time information gathered by the police, Upadhyaya said.
Fahad along with Mohammed Al Hussain was arrested in Mysore on October 27 and the Karnataka police immediately alerted their Kerala counterpart on Fahad's suspected Kozhikode connections.
On several occasions, Fahad was said to have visited the Kappad House of his father, Abdulla, who had migrated to Pakistan in the early 70s. Police had seized some letters and telephone diaries from the house soon after the arrest of Fahad but they were found to be of personal nature.
