Bengaluru: Newly married couple picked up by NIA on terror suspicion

January 24, 2016

Bengaluru, Sep 24: A newly married Muslim couple were picked up by a joint team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Telangana Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on suspicion of terror links in the city on Saturday.

married According to police sources, the joint team was tailing the suspect Javed Rafiq (30), who was with his wife, from a distance and on realising that he would be nabbed, he tried to escape.

Telangana Police constable Srinivas, who is part of the ATS, tried to stop him, but Rafiq attacked him with a sharp object.

Rafiq and the constable were immediately rushed to a local hospital. Rafiq’s wife Yasmin was taken aback by the sudden development and the NIA team detained her later.

The incident comes a day after the NIA picked up 14 men including six from Karnataka in a pre-dawn swoop for allegedly being sympathisers of ISIS.

“The incident took place at Doddanagamangala and a constable was injured in the attack. The suspect is wanted by the NIA in a particular case. The City police are yet to be informed about the raid by the NIA,” Bengaluru Police Commissioner N S?Megharik said on Saturday.

However, Megharik said he did not have details of the case in which Rafiq was wanted. As many as six NIA and ATS teams are in Bengaluru and more arrests cannot be ruled out, sources added. “The attack took place before the couple could enter the house,” said DCP (south-east) M B Boralingaiah.

Rafiq is from Delhi and moved to Bengaluru three years ago. He married Yasmin six-months ago and the couple were staying in the second floor of a four-storeyed building owned by one Ashraf on 4th main road, Vinayaka Nagar.

The City police were not sure whether Yasmin was also involved in terror activities. “We have no information and we have not been keeping a tab on her,” said a senior police officer.

Sources in the City police said the joint team arrived here on Saturday to detain Rafiq. The jurisdictional Parappana Agrahara police have decided to register a case against Ashraf and interrogate him.

A Question to NIA

Dear Officers,

Why only from Bangalore and Hyderabad....... is this Direct Instructions from the Ruling Institution ???????????????????

Surprised ! Surprised ! Surprised!

This is another tactic and false Illusion on MUSLIMS by our GOVT to cover the issues and Raise the Suspicion and Create Intolerance among Peace Loving Indians.

A diversion tactics to dalit killing... fake isis raids.. Do politicians think mangaloreans so much stupid to this old way of divert tactics

These are foolish. Modi government want to retain in seat for five more year.

The real culprit are BD and RSS.

Modi wave in dust bin now and BJP using puppet NIA to glorify Modi by these random arrest. Innocent Muslim youths are scapegoat. Amith Shah did same crime while in Gujarat and orgabnised fake encounters.

In his Facebook post, Dr Harsha claimed that thanks to his initiative “My Beat My Pride”, the policing in the coastal city has strengthened.

“My only intention was to put an end to rowdyism and illegal activities. I had given priority to curb the drug mafia. ‘My Beat My Pride’ became a successful initiative thanks to public support,” he said.

The IPS officer went on to claim that with the with the co-operation of the senior officers, the police department managed to efficiently handle situations during anti-CAA and pro-CAA agitations in the city, detection of explosives at Mangaluru International Airport and also during the covid-19 pandemic.

However, he did not mention about the death of two people in random police firing following a baton charge during anti-CAA protests in the city on December 19.
