A police source said a report on Liyaqat’s interrogation has also been submitted to the Union home ministry.<br /><br />“The J&K police did not even know that Liyaqat would arrive in India from Nepal. It is an afterthought to make this claim,” Shrivastava said. “If Liyaqat planned to surrender before Jammu and Kashmir police, there should have been some form of communication. He was illegally crossing over from Nepal,” a officer said.<br /><br />Even a case was registered against Liyaqat and others by J&K Police on March 18, 2011. “In the FIR, it has been mentioned that few youths crossed the border to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir where they were given training to carry out attacks in India,” the officer added.<br /><br />He said an associate of Liyaqat was staying at a guest house in Delhi’s Jama Masjid under the fake name of Ahmed, and furnished a fake address proof of Haryana.<br /><br />“Liyaqat has revealed that he had to meet his associate at the guest house who would have introduced him to five other terrorists. They would have then hatched a conspiracy to carry out fidayeen attack. Shopping malls, markets and governments building were their targets,” he added.</p>
