The city police were put on a high alert following the serial
blasts in Jaipur on Tuesday. The vigil at the Rajiv Gandhi International
Airport, Shamshabad, and other important places, roads and sensitive areas in
the city was stepped up from Tuesday evening immediately after the Jaipur
blasts.
"Watch is being
particularly kept at the entry points into the city. Our men have been
instructed to conduct frisking," city police commissioner B Prasada Rao told
TOI.
The striking similarities
between the Jaipur blasts and those occurred in Hyderabad on August 25, 2007
have put the top cops of Hyderabad and Cyberabad on alert. More than 40 people
were killed in the blasts at two crowded places in Hyderabad in August, 2007.
The terror attacks at Gokul Chat at the busy Koti and at the Lumbini laserium in
the heart of the city near the Secretariat were carried out on a Saturday
evening around 7.45 pm. A bomb placed at the commercially important Dilsukhnagar
area was detected in time and defused around the same time.
Incidentally, the blasts in
Jaipur were also carried out between 7 pm and 8
pm.
"We are gathering more
details about the blasts in Jaipur to compare the similarities," Prasada Rao
said.
With the blasts in Hyderabad
being still fresh in the memory of people, the latest terror attacks in Jaipur
have put the Hyderabad police once again on the alert.

HYDERABAD:
Alleged gangster Ayub Khan against whom 48 cases, including eight murders, were
registered at different police stations in Hyderabad was arrested by Task Force
police in Gulbarga in Karnataka on Tuesday. He was staying there with his
wife.
Ayub Khan, 39, who was
born and grew up in Fateh Darwaza in the city, reportedly began his tryst with
crime when he was just 16 years.
In 1990, the school dropout
committed a robbery in Hussainialam and in the same year he was involved in an
attempt to murder one Khadir in the same
area.
According to an official
release, Ayub Khan along with his associates actively participated in communal
riots in 1990 and targeted places of worship in the old city. During this
period, several cases, including murder, attempt to murder, attack on public
servants, arson and looting were registered against Ayub Khan in different
police stations of Hyderabad.
A
history-sheet was opened against him in Hussainialam police station in 1991 and
was transferred to the Kalapathar police station later as Ayub shifted his
residence to 19-2-148/4, Tadban,
Kalapathar.
Since then, Ayub
Khan has been maintaining a gang of 20 members and resorting to crimes, police
said.
He reportedly attacked
police personnel with deadly weapons when they tried to apprehend him several
times.
In one such incident,
police opened fire on him due to which he received bullet injuries on his leg at
Kamatipura in 1992.
In 2002,
Ayub Khan reportedly killed advocate Mannan Ghori and was arrested along with
his associates. He was in judicial custody for nearly three years and was
released on bail on February 25,
2005.
According to police, even
when he was in jail, Ayub Khan organised his associates to threaten and
eliminate his rivals and suspected police
informers.

Hyderabad: Unmindful of the sweltering heat, die-hard fans filled the
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here, but were disappointed not to see their
heroes - actor Shahrukh Khan and cricketer Shoaib Akhtar - in 'action'.
Braving the scorching sun, the enthusiasts took their seats much before the
match began between Hyderabad's Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders. Even
42 degree Celsius temperature could not keep the crowd away from enjoying the
Sunday game.
The 40,000-capacity stadium was almost full. It was the best crowd so far at
this stadium though the hosts have lost all their three matches played here and
are at the bottom of the points table with just two wins from eight outings. It was also the first day-night IPL match to be played here.
Many fans turned up to catch a glimpse of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan,
who owns the Kolkata team. But they were disappointed not to find King Khan in
the stands.
'Where r u SRK' asked a placard carried by one of the fans. Hyderabad Cricket
Association (HCA) officials said they have no information if the superstar would
be coming to cheer the team.
However, another Bollywood star and Shahrukh Khan's friend Arbaaz Khan was
present to cheer the Kolkata team.
HCA secretary Shivalal Yadav said all tickets for the match were sold out.
"But I don't know what is the contributing factor for this," he said. IT
companies bought 15,000 tickets for their employees. Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (4) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 14

DELHI: Finance Ministry has agreed in principle to provide funds worth about Rs
2,000 crore for the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project estimated to cost over Rs
10,000 crore under the public-private partnership.
Four bidders, including a
consortium of Reliance Energy Limited (REL) and Canada based Bombardier, have
been pre-qualified for the project and technical bids have been invited.
"The Hyderabad Mass Rapid
Transit System (MRTS) has been recommended by the Empowered Committee and
Empowered Institution for viability gap funding (VGF), though final approval
will require the consent of Finance Minister P Chidambaram as well," said
finance ministry sources.
Once
approved by the Finance Minister, the funds could be released to the state
government in a phased manner to implement the project, sources said.

HuJI may be behind Jaipur blasts: Sources |
Terror struck yet again this time in
the 'Pink City' Jaipur,
at the busiest market, at the busiest hour, aimed with chilling precision to
kill, maim, terrify and cleave the country. At last count, the toll was 80
killed, and with over 150 injured, it could go up. Bangladesh-based Harkut-ul-Jehadi Islami(HuJI) is suspected to be
behind the blasts that has taken the state authorities by surprise, Home
Ministry sources said.
The sources ruled out the use of RDX in the
carefully orchestrated low-intensity explosions which were suspected to have
been set off from cycles in areas including near Hawa Mahal which are frequented
by domestic and foreign tourists.
It is clear that the bombers planned a bloody attack. The first bomb
struck a temple dedicated to the Hindu monkey god Hanuman, whose
divinity is celebrated every Tuesday. Eyewitnesses said the temple was
packed with devotees offering prayers on their way home from work.
"The
next bomb was near Johari bazaar and looked like it was placed near a
Muslim jewellery shop," an eyewitness Lalit Khateri said. "It
was very busy with Hindus and Muslims. It was an attack not on Hindus
or Muslims but Indians."
