Central Crime Branch police, who are probing the case, nabbed Danial Prakash alias Prakashm in Tirunelveli village of Tamil Nadu. The police have so far arrested 17 accused in connection with the blast and Prakash is 18th accused.

Police officials said the arrest was made based on information given by Pervez Basha, who was arrested in Tamil Nadu earlier.

In a press release, officials state that Prakash is one of the prime accused and he was active in supplying explosive material that was brought to Bengaluru.

Cops among injured

A bomb explosion of low intensity near the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party at Malleswaram on April 17, 2013 had injured 17 people, including 12 police personnel. The police personnel were in a Karnataka State Reserve Police van stationed on 24-hour election duty.

Two cars and two two-wheelers were gutted, while the police van was damaged in the explosion that shook the densely populated semi-residential area. The 10.20 a.m. blast coincided with the last day of the filing of nominations for the May 5 Assembly polls. The busy street on Malleswaram, which was in the thick of electoral activity, was covered with shattered glass, mostly from broken vehicle window panes.

RSS leader's SIM

Nearly a month after the blast, police had revealed that the SIM card used to trigger the blast belonged to an RSS leader from the Karnataka-Kerala border. The police, had refused to identify the RSS leader.

However, the police has exonerated the SIM-card owner, and ruled out the involvement of a purported right-wing terror group.

Chargsheeted

However, after a few months of investigation, a chargesheet was filed in October 2013 against 15 accused: Basheer (30), Kichan Buhari (38), Sait Azgar Ali (29), Rehamathulla (34), Valayil Hakeem (32), Syed Suleman (24), Suleman (31), Zulfikar Ali (24), Mohammed Salim (30), Panna Ismail (38), Bilal Malik (25), Fakruddin (38), Pravai Basha, Ali Khan Kutti, Jhone Asir, (35) and Syed Ali (29) are currently judicial custody in the Parappana Agrahara prison.

Bengaluru, Jun 3: Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan on Tuesday invited investors in the Electronics System and Design Manufacturing (ESDM) sector to Karnataka, as the state contributes 64 per cent to the sector's total exports from the nation.

During a video conference organised by Invest India for a few select states with leading ESDM players across the globe, Narayan said, "We are the largest chip design hub and home to 70 per cent of India's chip designers."

Karnataka has introduced industry-friendly policies from the beginning and it continues to be the leader in attracting technology-specific investments, he added.

"Karnataka has an estimated GSDP of almost USD 220 billion. We were the first to come out with IT, BT, ESDM, and AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) policies to give a push to the growth of the technology sectors and innovation. We also have vibrant automobiles, agro, aerospace, textile and garment, and heavy engineering industries," Narayan explained.

"We have created sector-specific SEZs for key industries such as IT, biotechnology and engineering, food processing and aerospace,'' he said.

However, the state government is planning ahead as it has initiated talks with other countries.

"We have held multiple consultations with the private sector to seek inputs for returning to business as we ease the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. We are also initiating dialogue with countries across the globe to understand future plans for their companies in the post COVID era and discuss how the Karnataka government can support that," the Deputy Chief Minister stated.

"Karnataka has attracted cumulative FDI inflows in the state from 2000 to 2019 which were recorded at USD 42.3 billion," he said.

Referring to the Karnataka ESDM policy 2017-2022, Narayan further said, "We aim to stimulate the growth of 2,000 ESDM start-ups during the policy period and create 20 lakh new jobs by 2025.
