Afroz released; police file charge sheet

Suspected Al Qaeda terrorist Mohammed Afroz Abdul Razak was on Tuesday released from Byculla prison in Mumbai following bail granted by a special court, even as police filed a charge sheet against him.

Soon after his release from jail, Afroz appeared before designated Judge A B Bhangale, who accepted the charge sheet and adjourned the case to April 24.

The police filed the charge sheet under provisions of the Indian Penal Code.

It had earlier invoked provisions of the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance [now Prevention of Terrorism Act] against Afroz, but dropped the charge later saying that he could be tried only under the IPC.

Afroz has been charged with section 120 b [conspiracy], section 121 A [waging war against nation], section 126 [acts of depredation against countries friendly with India], section 420 [cheating], section 467 [forgery], public prosecutor Ujwal Nikam said.

Nikam informed the court that investigating teams from other countries would soon visit India to question Afroz.

Afroz had allegedly participated in a conspiracy to blow up targets abroad.
