Bengaluru, Aug 10: Sixteen years after Karnataka faced serial bombings by Deendar Channabasaveshwara Anjuman, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) sleuths have arrested Sheikh Amir Ali, a beggar and prime suspect in the case.

AmirAliPolice sources said that for the past couple of years, Ali had been living a mendicant's life and surviving on alms

The 50-year-old beggar is wanted in four blast cases in Karnataka and Maharashtra, police said. The Karnataka CID team picked him up from a hideout in Nalagonda, Andhra Pradesh.

The Ist Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) court in Bengaluru had issued a non-bailable warrant against Ali. The blasts were triggered by men owing allegiance to Deendar Channabasaveshwara Anjuman, a terror outfit banned in 1948.

The explosion in Bengaluru occurred in a church in JJ Nagar on the night of July 9, 2000, damaging it partly. Twenty-nine persons were arrested and the court convicted 23 of them. Eleven convicts were awarded death sentence, while 12 were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Similar blasts were triggered in Hubballi and Wadi around the same time and investigations proved the involvement of Ali and others. Of the seven fugitives, five are settled in Pakistan and one is absconding.

According to police sources, Ali had supplied explosive material to Hashim Ali from Andhra Pradesh, who assembled it to prepare the bombs.

Deendar Anjuman

Deendar Anjuman or Deendar Channabasaveshwara Anjuman was founded by Hazrath Moulana Siddique - alias Deendar Channabasaveshwara - at Bellampet, Gulbarga district, in 1924. Its head office was at Asif Nagar, Hyderabad. Though the organisation operated behind the façade of establishing religious equality, it had a hidden terror agenda, which is widely condemned by Muslims.

Terror track

1. On June 8, 2000, two crude bombs were set off at Saint Anne's Church in Wadi, Gulbarga District. The church was damaged and two persons were injured.

2. On July 9, 2000, bombs were set off at St Peter Paul Church in Jagajeevanaramnagar, Bengaluru.

3. On July 8, 2000, the group triggered off bombs blasts at the St John Luthern Church in Hubli. Sixteen persons faced trial in the case.

4. The final blast occurred when a bomb went off accidentally while the terrorists were transporting them in a Maruti van on July 9.

Muslims should know what exactly Holy Quran & Authentic Hadees says. Rather start following WRONG religious leaders though their life style or preaching against Quran & Hadees. Eventually innocent people loose their life and muslim community name gets spoiled bcoz of some BLACK SHEEP in the community.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

 

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism.  Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

 

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
