Metro Crime: Know all about Masood Azhar

The dreaded architect of some of the most gruesome terror attacks in India, Maulana Masood Azhar, was a "easy man" to handle in custody and he got shaken up on the first "slap" from an army jawan prompting him to blurt out details of his movements, says a former police officer who interrogated him after his arrest in 1994.

Azhar, who had used a Portuguese passport to enter India through Bangladesh and reach Kashmir, was arrested in February 1994 in Anantnag in South Kashmir.
