On January 8m in a joint operation, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) and Karnataka's internal security division arrested three alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in two separate incidents and seized a huge cache of bomb-making material and communication devices, reports The Times of India. The arrests were made in Cox Town of Bengaluru, and Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada District. Announcing the arrests, Police Commissioner MN Reddi said so far no connection has been established between the trio and the December 28 explosion on Church Street. But, Police will investigate further. Reddi said around 5 kilogram of ammonium nitrate, gelatin, electrical circuits, detonators and a walkie-talkie have been seized. "Three men, Syed Ismail Afaq, 34, Saddam Hussein, 35 and Abdus Subur, 24 have been arrested. The first two were arrested from the house in Pulakeshinagar in east Bengaluru and the third person was arrested from Bhatkal town. Abdus Subur, 24 was MBA student in Bhatkal and we are yet to identify the background of the other two arrested men," Reddi added. During the investigation it was found that these men were acting on the instructions of a handler abroad. "We can't confirm the country from where the handler was operating. These men are being interrogated right now and we can't disclose the directions these men were given either, at the point of the investigation," he said. These men have been booked under sections 3.4 and 5 of explosive substances act and sections 10, 13 and 18 of Unlawful Assembly Prevention Act (UAPA) and 120 B and 121 A of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

On August 14, one person, Pankaj Gadhai (resident of Odisha) was arrested by Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Crime Investigation Department (CID) from Jorabagan in Kolkata, and with his revelation, on August 15 afternoon, CID recovered 600 kilogram of ammonium nitrate along with another 500 kilogram of Sulphur and 20 kilogram of aluminum nitrate from 54 Strand Road in Kolkata, reports The Times of India. The fact that this huge stack was locked inside a go-down even as the city went in to a high-alert for Independence Day has not gone well in the security establishment. "By the looks of it, the entire modus operandi is tried and tested and up and running for several months. We are investigating this aspect closely," said a source. The go-down belongs to one Susanta Pakhira, who too is a resident of Odisha. According to CID sleuths, the recovery has direct connection with the Raghunathganj explosives haul that took place on August 8. The CID has so far claimed that the explosives used to arrive at the Kolkata go-down from designated areas of Odisha. Sometimes, they added, the raw material consignments arrived from Bihar. The explosives were then sent to several areas in Murshidabad District like Domkal and Suti from where the bombs would be made. These consignments sometimes were sent either through trucks or even the local train network. Once the bombs were manufactured, they were pushed back in to Kolkata and the Barrackpore Industrial belt. Sleuths believe a portion of it was sneaked even in to neighbouring Bangladesh. Sources said the quality of the material, the route and the transport mechanism similarity with that of October 2, 2014, Bardhaman Khagragarh blast.
