In follow-up exercises, the agencies arrested 39 top ranking SIMI leaders in various states. Nagori who appeared unfazed with his arrest was interrogated by senior police officers of 11 states. He was open to all topics and spoke frankly. Within a week, the agencies got insight to his network and plans — like the ones executed back-to-back in Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
But call it complacency or political compulsions his revelations couldn’t excite the security agencies the way his arrest did, despite many of his startling disclosures — he had parted ways with SIMI and floated his own group that he called Muslim Technical Persons Organisation.
It was a group that was formed in Hyderabad to create a pool of young Muslim technocrats. But his men primarily looked for computer professionals and those with know-how of chemicals.
He told his interrogators that this pool of technocrats function independently and through groups that serve as smokescreens. The first terror module run by the techies was cracked last year in Bangalore with the arrest of Shibly Peedicaal Abdul, Raziuddin Nasir and Yahya Kamakutty — computer professionals who played a role in the 2006 Mumbai train bombings.
