New Delhi: After 22 years of manhunt, the Delhi Police has arrested Hanif Shaikh, a member of the banned organization ‘Simi’. The police was on the lookout for him since 2001 in connection with the case filed under the UAPA sections. Hanif was the editor of the Urdu edition of SIMI, an Islamic movement magazine. He used to publish articles under the name of Hanif Hudai.
Deputy Commissioner Ankit Singh said that Hanif lived in Bhusawal, Maharashtra. Several cases have been registered against him for anti-national activities in Maharashtra. He organized ‘Simi’ meetings in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Kerala and Karnataka. Classes were also given to attract the youth to ‘Simi’. In 2002, Hanif was declared an absconder by a Delhi court.
Meanwhile, the police had received information that he had changed his name to Muhammad Hanif. On further investigation, the police got information that Hanif was looking for a job as a teacher in an Urdu medium school in Bhusawal. Then he was caught by a trick.
Hanif joined SIMI in 1997. In 2001, SIMI chief Zahid Badr appointed Hanif as editor of the Islamic Movement.
