The ongoing crackdown on terror networks in Karnataka has hinted at a disturbing scenario that is emerging in the IT sector: Infiltration of terrorists. | |
| The Corp of Detectives (CoD), which recently unearthed a terror module, has arrested a member of the banned Student's Islamic Movement of India who had worked in software companies in the city. The arrested person has been identified as Yahya Khan, a resident of Gurappanapalya in the city. |
| |
| CoD sources, who did not want to be identified, said Khan had initially joined an Indian IT firm after he completed his engineering degree from the Regional Engineering College at Kozhikode in 1996. Later, he joined a global IT firm in Whitefield. |
| |
| Sources said Khan was dismissed by the firm in mid-2007 after he was found downloading certain data in violation of the company's security policy. |
| |
| Sources said Khan had come under the scanner of the intelligence agencies eight months ago. He is reported to have presided over a few hate-US meetings organised by radical Islamic organisations and was in touch with Mohammed Asif, a medical student who was arrested recently from Hubli on charges of waging a war against the state. |
