Bengaluru, Jul. 9: The National Investigation Agency, which raided 5 places in Bangalore and Kolar in connection with a case of plotting terrorist acts in various parts of the country including Karnataka from inside the jail, has arrested three suspected terrorists, including a psychiatrist of Parappana Agrahara Jail and a CAR police officer. NIA sources said that the mastermind behind these terrorist activities is Tadiyandavide Nasir, a terrorist hiding under the pretext of a ginger farm in Hosathota, Kodagu.
Nasir, who masterminded the bomb blast at Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2008, is also the South Indian commander of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organization and has been in Parappana Agrahara Jail since 2013. The NIA team, which produced the suspected terrorists in court on Wednesday, has remanded all three accused, namely, prison psychiatrist Dr. Nagaraj, Assistant Sub-Inspector Chand Pasha and Anees Fatima, mother of absconding terrorist Mohammed Junaid, in custody till July 14. It has also issued a notice to former Airtel employee Satish Gowda of Kolar to appear for questioning on the charge of providing mobile SIM cards to terrorists. He was arrested in 2023 and is out on bail. Meanwhile, the NIA has revealed several explosive facts about terrorist T. Nasir.
Mobile phone sales by a doctor
Information has come to light that the security system itself is questionable in the high-security Parappana Agrahara Central Jail. Dr., who was providing medical services in this prison, was arrested. The NIA investigation has revealed that a man named Nagaraj was illegally supplying mobile phones to hundreds of prisoners and terrorists. Nagaraj, who was working as a doctor inside the jail, used to transport mobile phones to the jail on a scooter with the help of his assistant and sell them to the prisoners for Rs. 45-50 thousand. It has been revealed from the investigation that these mobile phones were directly reaching the hands of suspected terrorists, drug peddlers and rowdy sheeters. The NIA is conducting a high-level investigation against Dr. Nagaraj, who supplied mobile phones to more than 100 prisoners in the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in this way. Senior officials have recommended that the government take serious action against this doctor who misused the opportunity of medical services and developed a criminal network inside the jail.
Terrorist Salman's arrest exposes terror network
Previously, CCB raids were conducted on the houses of suspected terrorists in Sultan Palya and Bhadrappa Layout areas. Terrorist Salman, who was absconding in this case, was arrested by the NIA three months ago. Shocking information came out during the investigation that ASI Chand Pasha had helped Salman escape. Chand Pasha, an assistant sub-inspector in the City Armed Reserve Force, was posted for security. Information has also come out that terrorist T. Nasir and his gang were conspiring to commit misdeeds in various parts of the country from jail.
Nasir, who is a religious fanatic, is a mastermind in mindwashing the youth about terrorist activities. He has used many people for terrorist activities. He was planning terrorist activities even while in jail. Nasir, who had prepared a team of youths from jail, is the mastermind behind many blasts in South India. NIA sources have said that Nasir is involved in many cases including the 2008 serial bomb blasts, the Mangaluru cooker bomb, terrorist activities in Shivamogga, and the Rameswaram cafe blast. He is also accused of converting prisoners to Islam while in jail. He had brainwashed the youths in jail in murder cases and had prepared a team of 6 youths named Junaid, Mohammed Harshad Khan, Suhail, Faizal, Zahid Tabrez, and Mudasir in jail. However, after they came out of jail, they were caught with live grenades, pistols, and explosives in RT Nagar, Hebbal in 2023. The CCB police had arrested 5 people in this case. Junaid has fled to a Gulf country.
Conspiracy from a high-security jail
The case was transferred to the NIA from the CCB investigation in 2023. The search is still on for the main accused in the case, Mohammed Junaid. He is hiding in Dubai and his mother, Anees Fatima, who is now under arrest, is also accused of supporting her son's act. Nasir's plan was to use those in jail to carry out sabotage acts in some districts of Karnataka. After receiving information about this, the NIA team conducted a raid. The NIA, which has currently arrested three people, has seized some money from the arrested people and several items including the walkie-talkies they used to communicate with each other.
Parappana Agrahara, the largest jail in the state, has a capacity to house 4,200 prisoners and currently houses up to 5,000 prisoners. Of these, 3,500 are undertrial prisoners, 1,000 are serving sentences and 250 are women prisoners. If the prisoners continue their activities inside the jail, then the question arises as to why the jails are even needed. -Koverkolli Indresh
