 His present whereabouts are not known to India. "He is an absconding accused in the Mumbai terror attack case. He was closely involved in providing physical and technical training to the 10 terrorists," the official said.
 
 "He imparted training in GPS handling and map-reading to the attackers," the official added.
 
 "During the entire period when the Mumbai terror attacks conspiracy was being hatched, he acted as a secretary to Majeed. There is evidence to suggest his presence in the LeT control room in Pakistan during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack," the official said.
