BANGALORE: Police on Sunday maintained that it had not received any official confirmation that the person who rammed the flaming jeep into Glasgow airport in the botched UK terror plot and succumbed to burns after battling for life for over a month was Kafeel Ahmed.
"We have not received any official confirmation that the man who drove the burning jeep into Glasgow airport and died of burns on August 2 was Kafeel Ahmed," City Police Commissioner N Achutha Rao said.
To a query on the role played by the city police in the wake of the alleged involvement of three Bangaloreans in the failed terror plot, he said "we are in touch with the respective governments of UK and Australia through proper channels".
Meanwhile, police seized another hard disk from Kafeel's residence in Banashankari here and sent it to Forensic Science Laboratory, Hyderabad.
The disk was seized subsequent to the high capacity hard disk recovered earlier from Kafeel's residence, Rao said.
He did not specify the time frame for submission of report by FSL to the city police stating "I really do not know how much time it is going to take".

Go away, leave us alone, plead Kafeel's parents
BANGALORE: For the last one month, the neighbours of House No 1981 at Banashankari II Stage have not seen its doors open. On Friday, even the gates were locked from within.
There was a pall of gloom at the home of Kafeel Ahmed, the engineer from Bangalore who died Thursday after driving a burning jeep into the Glasgow airport a month ago.'
'Go away, please leave us alone," cried Kafeel's parents Dr Maqbool Ahmed and Zakia Ahmed from inside. The family members were tightlipped over the death of Kafeel and refused to comment.
The Friday prayers at the nearby Hazrat Tipu masjid set the melancholic mood in the neighbourhood where silence prevailed. After noon, relatives started arriving at the house, but could not get in as the gate was still locked. Some even shied away seeing camera crews and journalists. But there was one relative who jumped the compound wall of the house and tried to sneak in. But he too came out in the same fashion and went to the mosque to attend the prayers.
One scribe, who jumped over the compound wall, was stopped by Kafeel's sister Sadia. "Please don't disturb us. Understand our position. Leave us alone," she said with folded hands.
"You should have some respect. Let us mourn in peace at least," said a relative who had come to meet the family.
