Bomb plant in Ayodhya: A conspiracy was hatched to blow up the BJP state office in Bengaluru on January 22, the day of the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has revealed this in the charge sheet of the Rameshwaram cafe blast in Bengaluru.
After completing the investigation in less than six months, the NIA filed a chargesheet against four accused linked to ISIS in a special court in Bengaluru. Nine people were injured in the bomb blast at the Rameswaram cafe on March 1. The NIA took over the investigation into the case on March 3.
Conspiracy to blow up BJP office
According to official sources of NIA, ISIS had conspired to blow up the BJP state office with an IED on Prana Pratishtha Day. Musir Hussain Shajib, who planted the bomb in Rameswaram Cafe, revealed during NIA interrogation that he had planted an IED on a motorcycle at the BJP office on January 22, but the IED failed to explode due to technical reasons.
After failing to blow up the BJP office, he carried out the bomb blast at the Rameswaram cafe on March 1. According to a senior NIA official, Abdul Matin Ahmed Taha, Maaz Munir Ahmed and Muzammil Sharif Mussavir Hussain were involved in the conspiracy to plant the bomb at the Rameswaram cafe along with Sajeeb. The NIA has named all four as accused in the chargesheet.
Both are absconding since 2020
Both the terrorists hail from Shivamogga district of Karnataka, where they tried to indoctrinate local youth into the radical ideology of ISIS and instigate them to meet ISIS terrorists in Syria.
Maaz Munir Ahmed and Muzammil Sharif were among the youths who took part in the conspiracy of Rameswaram cafe blast. According to the NIA chargesheet, both Shajib and Taha had bought several Indian SIM cards and opened several bank accounts on the basis of fake documents. Not only this, both of them also created several Indian and Bangladeshi identity documents with the help of the dark web.
Arrested from West Bengal
The NIA arrested the two from West Bengal on March 1, 42 days after the Rameswaram cafe blast. According to a senior official, convicted terrorist Soeb Ahmed Mirza introduced TADA to a terrorist named Mohammed Shahid Faisal, who has been declared absconding in the Bengaluru Lashkar-e-Taiba conspiracy case.
It was Faisal who instructed Tada on terror activities, which later led to his meeting with Mehboob Pasha, an accused in the Al Hind terror module case, and Khaja Mohiddin, a South Indian ameer of ISIS. It was Faisal who introduced Tada to Major Munir Ahmed. Tada and Faisal received terror funds through crypto-currencies, which they used through a P2P platform based on Telegram.
