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

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.

marriedAccording 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.

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.

The Subramanyapura police have begun an investigation into Vasudeva Maiya's death.  Source said that he committed suicide. He was a native of Kota in Udupi district.

New Delhi, Jun 9: Elections to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council will be held on June 29, the poll panel announced on Tuesday.

The seven seats are falling vacant on June 30, according to an Election Commission statement.

Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly will vote on June 29 to elect the seven new MLCs.

The Commission has directed the Karnataka chief secretary to depute a senior officer to ensure that the  instructions regarding COVID-19 containment measures are complied with during the elections.

The counting of votes will be held on the evening of June 29 after completion of polls, as per practice.

The notification for the elections will be issued on June 11, the statement said.

MLCs are usually elected by four types of electors -- MLAs, Graduates, Teachers and members of local authorities.

On Monday, the Commission had deferred elections to four seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council -- two each from Teachers and Graduate constituencies -- falling vacant on June 30 due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

"If MLAs are electors, the size of the electorate is small and the assembly building is the only polling station. When the electorate is teachers or graduates, the number of those who can vote is higher.

Due to the virus, Commission only allowed polls to seats where MLAs are the electors to prevent large gatherings," explained a senior EC functionary.
