Some six months after serial explosions rocked India’s silicon valley city of Bangalore, the Karnataka police claim to have cracked the mystery with the arrest of nine persons belonging to a Kerala-based radical group, one person was killed while eight others were injured in the orchestrated bombings.
Abdul Sattar, Abdul Jabbar, Sarfudin, Sakariya from Mallapuram, Kerala and Mujeeb, Faizal, Abdul Jaleel, Manaf of Kannur, and Badruddin from Ernakulum have been arrested for alleged involvement in the July 2008 blasts, DGP Ajai Kumar Singh was quoted as saying by PTI.
Four others involved in the blasts were killed in an encounter with the Indian army in Jammu and Kashmir while they were attempting to crossover into Pakistan between October 4 and 7.
The police, however, maintained a studied silence on the identity of the radical outfit and parried queries on possible links between the group and militant outfits like Lakshar-e-Tayyeba.
The top police officer said the group was "radicalised by general feeling of perceived injustice to Muslims in India due to Babri Masjid demolition and Godhra incident and Gujarat riots," quoted PTI.
