Lax security led to Pak terrorists' fleeing

New Delhi: Investigations into the escape of three Pakistani terrorists on January 1, 2010, has revelled that would not have been able to execute this plan if it wasn't for the lax security at the foreigners detention centre.

Union Home Ministry has already said that heads may roll in the Foreigner's Regional Registration Office, the department responsible for the security of the detention centre.

Aided by lax security and easy access to the outside world sources say the ISI trained terrorists - Abdul Razzaq, Rafaket Ali and Mohammed Saddique - could walk out of the detention at will.

All the three terrorists managed to go out to have a shave, a meal or for making calls to relatives in Pakistan. Moreover, the three had frequent visitors who often gave them money.

Sources also say a woman clad in a burqa had come to meet the three terrorists just a day before their escape. She reportedly spent more than an hour with the terrorists.

But neither her name nor her address is mentioned in the entry register.

The role of Meghalaya Police Sub-Inspector DM Singh, from whose custody the trio escaped, is also under investigation.

Sources say Singh took the three for a medical check-up in a private taxi without informing his Delhi Police counterparts.

According to the driver of the taxi Dharmendra Singh Saini Singh dropped Saddique and Rafaket Ali at a restaurant and took Abdul Razzaq in an auto-rickshaw to meet a relative in Jaffarabad.

While Rafaket and Saddique fled from the hotel, Singh has not been able to explain the disappearance of Razzaq.

Singh also did not inform the local police of the escape for over 24 hours.

Meanwhile, police are also questioning people who had visited the trio in Tihar jail and have spread a countrywide net for them.
