Suspected terroristSyed Ahmed Ali, 38, jumped from Raptisagar Super Fast Express at around midnight and fled, Hoshangabad’s Superintendent of Police (SP) Ashutosh Pratap Singh said.

The absconding terrorist along with seven Vellore police officials was travelling in Rapti Sagar Express. The train after leaving the Itarsi station was at Pawarkheda on the outskirts of Hoshangabad station. It was slowly catching up speed when suddenly the terrorist escaped from the custody of policemen and jumped off the train.

The Vellore policemen immediately informed the government railway police (GRP), who then informed the local police and anti-terrorist squad (ATS).

“The police after sounding an alert have immediately cordoned off the area from where he escaped and are conducting a search operation to nab him. We have also alerted the Itarsi police and the nearby districts to ensure that he does not run away. Police are searching the nearby villages and have put check-points at various places of the area to nab him as soon as possible”, said Ashutosh Pratap Singh, superintendent of police, Hoshangabad.

According to documents with Vellore Police, Ali is from Tripura. “He might have acquired a false domicile certificate. We are checking it,” Mr. Singh said.

According to police sources, Ahmed might be a Bangladeshi, who obtained Tripura’s domicile certificate unlawfully. Meanwhile, the police have launched a massive manhunt to arrest Ali, the SP added.
