The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed a chargesheet against two accused in the “Islamic State-sponsored” pressure cooker blast that took place in Mangaluru in Karnataka in November last year.
The accused have been identified as Mohamed Shariq and Syed Yasin. As alleged, Mohamed Shariq, had been carrying the pressure cooker improvised explosive device in an auto-rickshaw when it had exploded on November 19, 2022.
He had allegedly planned to plant the bomb at Kadri Manjunatha Temple in Mangaluru, “with the aim to create terror among the Hindu community”.
