1. CCB takes custody of T. Nazir in connection with alleged terror module busted in Bengaluru
The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has taken custody of T. Nazir, accused in the 2008 Bengaluru serial bomb blasts and 34 other terror cases. He allegedly radicalised a gang of career criminals in Parappana Agrahara Central prison, who in turn put together the alleged terror module that was busted in Bengaluru recently. The court has remanded him into 8 days of police custody.
Junaid Ahmed, the alleged kingpin of the module, is still at large, and the five arrested from Bengaluru are reportedly foot soldiers with no idea of the larger picture. The police are therefore relying heavily on Nazir to provide them insights into the alleged terror plot.
