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, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.
