Arrested under the UAPA; prosecution failed to produce evidence
A local court in Gujarat acquitted a computer professional, Bashir Ahmed Baba, from Kashmir, 11 years after he was arrested by the State’s Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) in 2010. Mr. Baba was accused of conducting a reconnaissance to set up a terror network in the State, by recruiting Muslim youth angry over the 2002 communal riots, for the Pakistan-based Hizb-ul-Mujahideen. He was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) by the ATS. The agency also accused him of being in touch with Hizb-ul-Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin and one Bilal Ahmed Shera over phone and emails regarding their plans to create a terror network and arrange logistics for it.
