His family lives in Ahmedabad. "In 1991, Pathan had gone to Saudi Arabia and had returned in 1999. He had stayed with his uncle, Raja Pathan, in Surat's Lal Darwaja area," said an ATS source."He used to work in a car garage in Durban, and has also applied for permanent residence in South Africa. He had returned to Ahmedabad about eight months ago," an ATS official said.ATS sources said they had arrested Pathan following a tip-off and are currently interrogating him. "Pathan also holds a South African passport," said an ATS official, adding, "It is strange for a person to hold three passports, two in the same name and one in a fake name.
