Thailand court orders revival of gangster Chhota Shakeel aide Munna Jhingada to India.
NEW DELHI: In a big win for India, a criminal court in Thailand on Wednesday ordered the repatriation of Sayyed Muzakkir Muddassar Hussain alias Munna Jhingra, who is believed to be a close playmate of Pakistan-based gangster Chhota Shakeel.
Reject Pakistan’s argument, the Thai court ruled that Jhingada is an Indian citizen and must be sent back to his country of origin.
The case had been under trial since April 2017.
For years, his proscription has been at the centre of a diplomatic clash between India and Pakistan.
While India had been trying to bring Munna Jhingada back from Thailand for years, Pakistan had been contending all such attempts.
It is believed that Pakistan’s notorious spy agency – the ISI – had even forged a passport for Jhingada to win his custody by proving that he is a Pakistani national.
However, the CBI and the MEA prepared fingerprints, birth and death certificates of his daughter, DNA samples from his kin, residential proof and college documents – to prove that he is an Indian national. Dawood and Chhota Shakeel, Jhingada is believed to be closely involved in the planning for 1993 Mumbai blasts and has close links to all top companion of the D-gang and their nexus with the Pakistan government.
