On August 17, Police in Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore), capital of Karnataka, foiled a plot to trigger explosions in the city by arresting a four-member gang near Dattatreya Temple in the Banashankari area. The gang was traveling in a vehicle loaded with explosives. A revolver, ten detonators, 20 gelatin sticks and other weapons were recovered from Asgar alias Asgar Pasha bin Abdul Rasheed of Mangammanapalya in Bengaluru, Umar bin Mohammad Sharif of Lakshmi Layout in Bengaluru, Jilani bin Wallisab of Desnur village in the Bellary district and Mohammad Zaheer bin Shafiulla Khan of Kowl Bazaar Street in Bellary. City Police Commissioner, N. Achutha Rao, told Deccan Herald that another accused Sameer is absconding. According to police sources, Asgar has linkages with the Naxalites (left-wing extremists). Deputy Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar said, “Asgar told the police that he wanted to trigger explosions in various parts of the City to eliminate his enemy, rowdy Diwan Ali, and his associates. But, the police suspect that Asgar might have cooked up the story to mislead the police. He seems to have close connections with Naxalites. He reportedly has links with Naxalite Narayananappa, who was convicted in two cases 8 years ago and is currently lodged in Central Prison, Parappana Agrahara.”
