A day after filing the chargesheet against 34 POTA accused in the Akshardham attack, the city police is busy compiling a report, seeking deportation of 15 persons from Saudi Arabia for their alleged involvement in the case. The report will be sent to the Interpol wing of the CBI.According to the chargesheet, eight of the 15 persons having alleged links with the ISI and Jaish-e-Mohammed hail from Ahmedabad and Bharuch. The rest belong to Mumbai and Hyderabad and are now in Saudi Arabia.Speaking to The Indian Express, Joint Commissioner (Crime) P.P. Pandey said a report on the accused based in Saudi Arabia is being prepared. Based on this report, the CBI will make a formal request to the Saudi Government to transfer custody of these accused as India does not have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia. The three Riyadh-based accused — Farooq Mohammed Hanif Sheikh (27), Abdul Rashid Suleman Ajmeri and Mohammed Uvesh Kadri (31) — from Kalupur and Shahpur — collected funds and sent it to the Dariapur-based accused for the temple attack. The ISI agents, operating in Saudi Arabia, who made them do the work include Mustakim (from Mumbai), Akhtar Hussain (UP), Abu Talah and Abu Hamjha (Hyderabad).The funds, police said, were sent through hawala links by three JeM operatives — Majid Patel, Iqbal Patel and Gulam Lehri (all from Bharuch and now in Riyadh and Jeddah) — to a yet to be identified 35-year-old man from Bharuch and a city-based accused Adam Suleman Ajmeri during the post-Godhra riots for subversive activities.
