Overview
- The Ahmedabad Crime Branch apprehended Mohammad Taslim in Udaipur on Sunday after a tactical operation based on specific human intelligence and local field inputs.
- Police say Taslim jumped temporary parole in 2019 and evaded capture by changing names, locations and communication methods while living in Rajasthan.
- Taslim is a convicted member of the Abdul Latif gang linked to the August 3, 1992 Radhika Gymkhana attack that killed nine people and to the October 1992 assassination of former Rajya Sabha MP Rauf Valiullah.
- Authorities have started legal formalities to return him to Sabarmati Central Jail so investigators can resume custody, interrogation and any outstanding court procedures.
- The arrest reconnects current policing to the violent 1990s gang wars in Ahmedabad and may prompt closer scrutiny of inter‑state parole tracking and how fugitives conceal identities while rebuilding family lives.
