Kannur ∙ While the NIA was conducting extensive searches in India and abroad, the fact that Savad stayed in hiding for years in Iriti and Mattannur is considered to be a huge intelligence lapse. It is not clear that he was hiding in Kannur for 13 years, but there is clear evidence that he was in Iriti and Mattanur for many years.
Sawad’s hidden life had many indirect clues, including carpentry, which helped the police to find out. The failure may also have been caused by the police’s neglect of the NIA’s case. Weaknesses in the field intelligence (information received directly from the people), which was the strength of the police, led to the fact that the accused who was wanted all over the world was hiding under their noses. While the accused could get help from some organizations, there was also a flaw in that method of monitoring.
As it is a case of NIA, it can be said that the police is not responsible, but in the cases of central agencies, it is the legal responsibility of the Kerala Police to find the accused who are hiding in the country. It should also be considered that central agencies with only few staff cannot continuously search and find the accused for such a long time.
It is clear that Savad has received a lot of support and assistance for his life in hiding. Although he was a carpenter, he worked only in some houses. After finishing work, he used to return home in the evening or at night. In the meantime, it is not clear whether he has attended any organization’s camps or meetings.
The hillside that Savad chose as his hiding place is a place that most people don’t notice. Even if it is in Mattannur municipality, it is the nature of the countryside. The Hassanmuk road here is winding. The tenement house stands on a hillside with only Chemmon cut road. Surely Savad would not be able to find and rent such a safe hideout alone.
13 years may have shifted in different places in the same way. The NIA will now probe those who trained him in carpentry, those who helped him prepare hideouts and relocate.
