The Delhi Police would soon move the Interpol for issuance of a 'Red Corner' notice warrant against the chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed Maulana Masood Azhar, his agents in India -- Ghazi Baba and Tariq -- all wanted in connection for carrying out an attack on Parliament on December 13.
"We will be soon moving for issuance of a 'Red Corner' notice against the three accused though we clearly know that he (Azhar) is moving openly in Pakistan," Delhi Police Commissioner Ajay Raj Sharma said on Sunday.
A Delhi court had last month declared the three -- Masood Azhar, the outfit's 'chief commander' in Jammu and Kashmir Ghazi Baba alias Abu Jehadi and one Tariq Ahmed as proclaimed offenders.
The accused had been chargesheeted for threatening the unity, integrity, security and sovereignty of the country by waging war against it and committing several other offences under Prevention of Terrorism Act, Indian Penal Code, Explosive Substance Act and Arms Act.
However, Sharma said that securing a 'Red Corner' warrant against the three was a mere formality and there was 'very less' even the Interpol could do until Pakistan extended cooperation in arresting them.
"Red Corner notice will be a big joke but, nevertheless, we will follow the procedure," the police chief said citing the example of late South African Captain Hansie Cronje, where the Interpol could be of no help in bringing him to India.
