View In AppKarnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on April 13 talked about the sequence of events that led to the arrest of the Bengaluru café blast case suspects from West Bengal. Talking to ANI, the Home Minister praised the NIA and Karnataka Police for arresting the accused. He also raised doubts about their involvement in Shivamogga blast.
“NIA has done a wonderful job. Our Karnataka police have done a wonderful job. Both of them hail from Karnataka. They studied together. I was told initially that they are from Thirthahalli, Shivamogga district. We will find out whether they have any links with the other agencies. These two were supposed to have been involved in the earlier Shivamogga blast. They had escaped for almost 3-4 years. And now after this incident, they are caught. NIA will investigate further. And then our police also will find out because they are originally from Karnataka. So let us wait and see what comes out of the investigation...” said G Parameshwara.
“...We started investigating. All inputs were shared with NIA. Our police have shared very good inputs. In fact, the cap that he (the accused) was wearing was purchased in Chennai...They were in a village in Kolkata. Whether they had any plans to escape to Bangladesh, we don't know at this point of time. It looks like they want to escape somewhere. So will find out whether anybody from that side is helping them. All that will be found out in due course,” he further said.
Notably, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on April 12 said that it had arrested the perpetrator and the architect behind the explosion at Rameshwaram cafe in Bengaluru. The two key absconders in the Rameswaram Cafe blast case, identified as Adbul Matheen Taha and Mussavir Hussain Shazeb, were traced out to their hideout near Kolkata and were apprehended by the NIA team.
