Besides the fact that he introduced Bilal to Kafeel and was attracted towards pan-Islamic militant causes, nothing suspicious has been found about Sabeel. There is no evidence of any association with SIMI or other such Islamic organizations in India.
Sabeel, Billal and Mohamed Haneef were quite close. Being collegemates in B.R. Ambedkar Medical College, Sabeel and Haneef worked together for sometime in the Halton Hospital in Cheshire, England during 2005.
Sabeel gave his cellphone to Bilal, the one that Haneef had given him before leaving for Australia. It was he who introduced Kafeel to another doctor Mohammed Asha and wife Marwa Asha (both of Palestinian origin), both of whom have also been detained. Sabeel was in Bangalore last March in connection with his marriage.
Mohammed Haneef, 27
Passport No: E-3903022.
Cousin of Kafeel, Haneef was one year senior to Sabeel graduating from BR Ambedkar Medical College in 2003. He had given his cellphone to Sabeel before leaving UK for Australia sometime in October 2006. Bilal subsequently used this cell to make several calls which are under the scanner for alleged links to terror groups.
Not much is known about Haneef who is currently being interrogated in Australia. Australian police have questioned — and released — four more doctors since his arrest and seized computers during raids. Investigators here are looking at the possibility of his association with an Islamic organization even when he was a medical student in Bangalore. It was Haneef who had told Bilal to take “any help he required” from Sabeel and Kafeel.
