The Special Cell of Delhi Police had last year chargesheeted Jundal alias Syed Zaibuddin for his involvement in the September 19, 2010 Jama Masjid blast case in which 15 other suspected Indian Mujahideen modules are also accused.

He has also been booked by NIA for allegedly conspiring to launch terror strikes across the country.
