Mumbai:
Authorities detained an Indian national at the Mumbai International airport for carrying pictures of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, 9/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab, terrorist Azhar Mehmood and also of politicians like Sonia Gandhi and Lalu Yadav in his cellphone on Sunday.
He was barred from taking the Air India flight to Jeddah. The man told the investigators that his brother had downloaded the pictures to his cellphone.
"CISF found the objectionable photographs in the phone. As the man claimed that it was his mobile, the securitymen asked him why he was carrying these images in his mobile and where he clicked them," a senior police official said.
"Subsequently, he was handed over to the city police. His phone was carrying photographs of terrorists Masood Azhar, Kasab, Dawood and the Taj Mahal Hotel in flames during Mumbai
terror attacks and others," the official said.
According to last reports, the man was still being questioned at a police station.
"We have recorded his statement. But so far it appears that the man was not aware of the consequences of carrying such images in the mobile," said another official. (With PTI inputs).
