A secret document accessed by TOI shows how he mysteriously disappeared from Dubai, where his father ran a perfume business, for a considerable period between 2004 and 2007, and visited the US among other places.
The document says, "Yasin came to Dubai on December 2, 2004 on a visit visa on an Indian passport issued from Regional Passport Office, Bangalore. While in Dubai, he worked in An-Nahaya Sports Shop".
Yasin, according to the document, went to Karachi on January 15, 2006, and came back to Dubai via Mumbai on March 17, 2006.
From Dubai, he again left for Los Alamos in the US on January 8, 2007, and did not return to Dubai after that. Intelligence experts believe that if his name had figured before 2007, then it would have been impossible for him to visit the US in 2007 following heightened security and surveillance measures after 9/11.
However, no Indian intelligence agency is aware of the purpose of his US visit, or when did he return from there and the places he had travelled to during his stay.
Yasin's name first surfaced in September 2008, when Delhi Police's special cell busted the Indian Mujahideen (IM) network during the Batla House encounter. He was using alias of "Shahrukh" at that time, and it was corroborated by arrested terrorists, including Salman, Mohammad Saif, Shehzad, and several others.
His profile in a different IB document also shows his 'involvement' in 2006 Mumbai serial blasts. The document says, "Yasin was underground after Mumbai train serial blasts on July 11, 2006. He surfaced in early 2008. Most of his associates, who knew him, were of the view that Ahmed (Yasin's real name) might have gone to Afghanistan or Chechnya for jehadi training".
