Police and the IB are also hoping to get information on mystery terror operative Shahid Bilal, a key member of the HuJI, who was reportedly killed in Pakistan two years ago. Both Khwaja and Bilal were extremely close and rose in the ranks of the HuJI together. Both belonged to Moosrambagh in Hyderabad and left the city together. They were both trained in the Chittagong forests in Bangladesh and were later sent to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir for further training.
Khwaja was based in Bangladesh but continued to mobilise cadres to carry out strikes especially in the southern part of India. His primary target was Bengaluru, sources say. The Bengaluru police say that they are yet to get more information on Khwaja and in due course of time, they will seek his custody if required.
Khwaja shuttled between Bangladesh and Pakistan and following the death of Bilal was made head of operations for HuJI in south India. It was a mission pertatining to India that made him visit Chennai. He was planning to come into Hyderabad from Chennai before he was apprehended by the IB.
