In the last four years, the module that came to be called the Thirthahalli Module, is alleged to have carried out two IED blasts in Karnataka — the cooker blast in 2022 in Mangaluru and the blast at The Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru on March 1.
The alleged module was allegedly put together by Abdul Matheen Ahmed Taaha, 30, and Mussavir Hussain Shazib, 30, both hailing from Thirthahalli, both arrested near Kolkata, West Bengal, in connection with The Rameshwaram Cafe blast case. With most of the known associates of the duo already arrested, have their arrests now “neutralised” the Thirthahalli module, is a question security agencies are now looking at.
