Dawood aide Farooq Takla's passport was renewed by the UPA govt in 2011

The passport of Dawood Ibrahim's aide and 1993 blasts accused Farooq Takla was renewed in 2011 during the UPA rule.

Farooq Takla, who was absconding since 1995, applied for renewal of his passport from Dubai on February 7, 2011 and the document was renewed the next day despite a Red Corner Notice against him. At that time, P Chidambaram was the Union Home Minister and SM Krishna was serving as the Minister of External Affairs.

Farooq (57) had fled from India after the 1993 blasts in Mumbai and a Red Corner Notice was issued against him in 1995.

He was arrested by the CBI on Thursday at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi after being deported from Dubai.

Farooq was deported from the UAE with the help of central intelligence agencies and put on a flight to Delhi.

Farooq faces criminal conspiracy, murder, attempt to murder, voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means and several other charges.
