Nasrudeen tried to clip his wife’s wings. It cost him his own freedom on Independence Day. Zabina, whom he had courted and charmed out of her first marriage only two years ago, wanted to work in Dubai for a better life. He first dissuaded, then forbade her. But on August 8, while he was on a train to Chennai, his place of work, she called him to say she was flying out of Delhi airport.
It was around 9pm. A livid Nasrudeen googled the airport number and left a message: Zabina, who was flying to Dubai or Saudi Arabia, was a fidayeen bomber who would blow up the plane midair.
Chaos followed at the airport. Police called Zabina’s number and spoke to her. She confirmed she was travelling to the Gulf for a job. The plane was emptied. A team from the special cell was also called in to investigate. At the airport, Zabina was frisked again but found clean.
Puzzled, police called Nasrudeen on his number. He insisted Zabina was a bomber, but they couldn’t find anything suspicious on her.
Man didn’t want wife to go to Dubai
So, they started tracing him after registering a case under sections of criminal intimidation at the Udyog Vihar police station. Nasrudeen was caught when he came back to Delhi on August 15.
“A team led by ACP Sanjay Dutt tracked him down to a location in the Bawana Industrial Area. We recovered the phone from which he had made the calls,” Sanjeev Yadav, DCP (special cell), said.
During interrogation, Nasrudeen told police Zabina had left home in a huff as she was determined to take up a job in Dubai, while he was equally determined to keep her under his thumb.
Nasrudeen is a school dropout who left Sitamarhi in Bihar to work in Chennai 10 years ago. He met Zabina at a leather bag factory where they worked. She was married with two kids, but he persuaded her to divorce her husband and marry him, in 2017.
Their relationship soon became strained over money matters. She had applied for a job in Dubai and wanted to move there, leaving the children behind with him. He had hoped that police would detain her after his call, but could now face life-imprisonment under the stringent new anti-hijacking law.
