A Special Cell of the Delhi Police has arrested a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative in Uttar Pradesh.
49-year-old Irfan Ahmad was arrested on Thursday from Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district, in what was the culmination of one of the longest operation carried out by the Special Cell in the recent past.
The arrested LeT operative, who has reportedly worked for the Indian Mujahideen (IM), is said to be involved in several terrorist cases.
Ahmad had first figured on the radar of Indian security agencies as the man who had planted bombs in two Rajdhani trains, Delhi - Howrah and Howrah - Delhi, passing through Kanpur Railway Station, on 5th and 6th of December 1993 exactly a year after the Babri mosque demolition.
