"He has worked for Indian Mujahideen (IM) and is wanted in several terror cases," special commissioner of police (Special Cell) SN Srivastava said.

Police said that Irfan was earlier a member of the Lashkar e Taiba and was involved in a series of bomb blasts across the country in the early 90's following the Babri Masjid demolition.

He was then arrested by the CBI and later convicted by a court. Irfan jumped parole in 2001 after serving 8 years in prison.

“After jumping parole, he continued to keep in touch with terror groups and had joined the Indian Mujahideen,” Srivastava said.
