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.

Shivamogga, Aug 9: Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi on Saturday virtually inaugurated Malgudi Museum at Arasalu in Karantaka's Shivamogga.

The old station building at Arasalu has been converted into museum.
BJP MP from Shivamogga BY Raghavendra said that the old station building at Arasalu has been renovated keeping with 'Malgudi' theme in mind.

"It is a tribute to the makers of the popular television serial 'Malgudi Days' as the station features predominantly in the episodes which broadcast on Doordarshan in the 1980s," he said.

The museum has been designed by a famous artist John Devraj, who was the part of the serial Malgudi Days. The Mysore Divisional Railway funded the museum.

"The approach road and station area wear a new transformed look. The innovative idea of having a tea-shop in a narrow gauge coach at Arasalu station adds charm to the green surroundings," the MP said.

"Popular and internationally acclaimed serial Malgudi Days was shot here in Arasalu. The SWR Mysore division manager Aparna Garg helped to transform the station to fictional village Malgudi," he added.

The museum is about 30 km from Shivamogga city. It has steam engines and bogies besides collections of photographs hanging on the wall taken during the time of shooting for Malgudi Days.
