The mother of one of the suspected ultras arrested recently has claimed that her son is innocent and is not involved in terrorist activities.
Sakina, whose son Mohammed Yousuf Nalband is in the custody of the Bangalore City Crime Branch (CCB) police, claimed that her introvert son only went to the mosque for prayers and he does not even have a passport.
Dismissing the allegations that Nalband was involved in extremist activities, Sakina said she would punish him herself if his anti-national activities were proved. She lives alone at her house at the Kirani market area of the old city.
Nalband, who has done an ITI course, had been working for the Tata company in Bangalore for the past six years.
He has a brother and three sisters and his father had died recently.
The CCB police are said to be investigating Nalband’s alleged secret links and activities.
